Degree Concentration
Overview
In
recognition of the unprecedented dimensions of issues of security, war and peace, human rights and
global justice, and sustainable
development in a world of violent conflict, the program in International
Educational Development (Department
of International and Transcultural Studies) offers
a degree concentration in Peace Education. Peace
Education is primarily concerned with addressing direct and structural
violence through the transformation of pedagogy, curriculum, and policy
related to education in both formal and non-formal contexts. Through
the concentration, students are provided with a conceptual understanding
of issues related to peace and human rights, as well as practical skills
in curriculum development. Both Masters and doctoral students are
required to take two core courses in Peace Education and, in addition,
can select courses related to peace, security, conflict resolution, human
rights, and global justice offered throughout the College and within
other programs at Columbia University,
Jewish Theological Seminary, and Union Theological Seminary.
Students
are encouraged to follow a program that will prepare them to pursue
the objectives of peace education in whatever area of education they choose
to concentrate. Each student is expected to assume major responsibility
for formulating, in cooperation with the advisor,
a plan of study that will best meet the general program requirements
in a way most compatible with her/his own professional goals.
