Major in Peace and Conflict Transformation Studies within the Bachelor of Arts 
The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Peace & Conflict Transformation Studies is an interdisciplinary degree which explores the nature of conflict, interpersonal and international, reconciliation, and violence prevention. Students will engage issues such as violence, power, justice, peace, communication, culture, conflict transformation, and dispute resolution. These degrees provide students with valuable skills in communication, writing, analytical, critical thinking, and organizing. A three- or a four-year B.A. in PCTS also serves as a sound basis for launching into professional studies such as community development, public policy, social work, law, and so on.
Major in Peace and Conflict Transformation Studies within the 4-year Bachelor of Arts
The four-year major has been designed for students planning long-term work with conflict resolution agencies or further study and research. Additional courses in PCTS will give students a greater depth of knowledge in this field. Students may build upon its requirements with courses that either focus on theoretical knowledge or on practical knowledge and skills. Furthermore, the four-year major in PCTS can provide the basis from which to apply for admission to M.A. programs. The four-year degree is becoming the standard undergraduate expectation across North America.
Minor in Peace and Conflict Transformation Studies within the Bachelor of Arts
The minor requires 18 credit hours and can fit alongside a major in any field, whether in the three-year or the four-year Bachelor of Arts. The student is given the opportunity to gain a broad understanding of Peace and Conflict through the required introductory courses, and then may explore a variety of topics, according to their interest. Through a minor in PCTS, a student can gain valuable secondary competencies, applicable in almost any vocation, but especially relevant beside a major in Communications, Business, Psychology, or International Development Studies.
