The peace and conflict studies minor at CUC reflects the institutional mission by exploring ideas of just and sustainable peace with questions about faith and ethics. The minor includes courses in social and behavioral sciences and humanities. Students in the peace and conflict studies minor will take the required introductory and capstone courses while working with faculty to select remaining courses from categories of approved courses that count toward the minor. Minors must be added to a major.

Minors can be added to a major so long as the programs of study are different and all courses must be completed. A student cannot be awarded a degree with just a minor. Courses within the minor can double count in the major as long as 1/3 of the courses are unique to the major or any other minor.
