KENT STATE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVES MASTER鈥橲 DEGREE IN PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES
The 麻豆影院 Board of Trustees approved the establishment of a new master鈥檚 degree that will help meet two decades of sustained growth in the broad field of conflict studies. The new Peace and Conflict Studies major within the Master of Arts degree will be offered in person on the 麻豆影院 Campus and will prepare students for careers as practitioners in the fields of peace and conflict management and for doctorate study.
The School of Peace and Conflict Studies is 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 鈥渓iving memorial鈥 to the four students killed by members of the Ohio National Guard on May 4, 1970. For nearly 50 years, 麻豆影院 State has offered an undergraduate degree in this field, and for the past 10 years, the school has offered graduate courses in the conflict analysis and management concentration in master鈥檚 and doctoral degrees in political science.
With the new master鈥檚 degree in Peace and Conflict Studies, the school will expand upon and enhance 麻豆影院 State鈥檚 graduate program offerings and attract new graduate students. The program will provide students with a more complete grounding in the field of peace and conflict studies and will include concentrations in distinct subfields of the discipline. The College of Arts and Sciences will establish the new major, effective fall 2023, pending final approval of the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
