Bachelor of Arts - Honours Arts and Business - Peace and Conflict Studies (Co-op)

Honours Arts and Business is where the things students are passionate about intersect with business. Students can pick one of 29 majors — a subject they are curious about or something they have always loved — then layer on business classes that teach them the practical skills employers look for.

Students who would like their degree to be even more customized, they can add on a second honours major or a minor. Students can choose the regular system of study and finish in four years, or add 20 months of serious work experience to their resumes through co-op.

In this program students will have the opportunity to find out how peace is built in complicated situations around the world by connecting theory and practice.

Students will choose courses from a wide variety of subjects to tailor their program towards their own area of interest. They will experience community through small classes and engaged professors. Students will explore the theory and practice of conflict resolution, human rights, and international development, and get some first-hand experience through co-op placements or a Peace and Conflict Studies internship.

Students will understand the factors that drive conflict and violence. They will think critically about how peace can be built in complex situations to move towards a healthy society where communities and individuals flourish.
