The Judith Herb College of Education at The University of Toledo offers an undergraduate interdisciplinary Minor in Peace Studies and an online Graduate Certificate Program in the Foundations of Peace Education. These academic programs are complemented by an array of research, international and community-based initiatives and supported by a university-wide network of Peace Studies Faculty Fellows.
Peace Studies is concerned with inquiry, scholarship, and action regarding the reduction and elimination of violence and the establishment of the conditions for the possibility of peace and justice to flourish at all levels of human organization. Complementing these perspectives, Peace Education at UT explores the philosophical, sociological and psychological dimensions of learning and education essential for global citizens to critically understand and transform all forms of violence and the patterns of thought that justify and support them.
