Turbulent times like ours call for people who understand systems of violence and conflict, and who are prepared to build peace with justice.

The Master of Peace and Conflict Studies program combines rigorous interdisciplinary scholarship with experiential learning opportunities to empower you with the knowledge and skills to contribute to nonviolent peacebuilding.

In this coursework-based professional degree based out of Conrad Grebel University College (a University of Waterloo-affiliated university college), you’ll learn to identify and transform systems of violence, marginalization and oppression, including racist, gendered and colonial violence at home and around the world.

A four-year undergraduate degree (a variety of disciplines are permitted; PACS graduates are not granted advanced placement) with a minimum average of at least 75% in the final 20 courses is required.
