As outbreaks of violence around the world continually remind us, war, terrorism, and the elusiveness of peace are among the deepest problems facing humankind throughout history. The War, Peace and Terrorism minor provides students with an opportunity to study the nature, implications, and ethical foundations of war, pacifism, and terrorism. Drawing on expertise from various departments, this minor explores the issues surrounding armed conflict from many different perspectives including historical, legal, moral, political, philosophical, social, cultural, religious, and psychological.
