Peace studies is an interdisciplinary field of study; its purpose is to investigate a variety of concepts of peace and to explore the potential for nonviolent methods of building social, political and economic justice. St. Lawrence offers a minor in peace studies.

PEAC 102/HIST 107: Introduction to Peace Studies, required for the minor in Peace Studies, is appropriate for first-year students.  Students interested in the minor are strongly encouraged to take PEAC 102/HIST 107 early in their academic career, because other courses do not count for the minor until a student has taken PEAC 102/HIST 107.

The course offered in Spring 2024, subject to the availability of seats, is:

  • PEAC 102/HIST 107: Introduction to Peace Studies
