Are you a St. Lawrence student thinking of becoming a Peace Studies minor?  Since it is time to register for Spring classes, are you wondering what courses count towards the Peace Studies minor?

In the future, there will be a Peace Studies listing in the course catalog, showing that semester’s courses that count towards the Peace Studies minor.  The ones listed as Peace Studies will include PEAC 100: Introduction to Peace Studies, to be offered every Fall, and PEAC 400: Peace Studies Capstone Seminar, to be offered every Spring.  (We are not offering the Capstone Seminar yet this spring, because the minor has only just been approved!)  The other courses that help complete a Peace Studies minor are to be cross-listed from other departments.  For the current listing of courses that count, click on “Peace Studies Minor” above.

If you already have taken or are taking Introduction to Peace Studies (offered last year and this year as ND/PHIL 147A), you can start taking cross-listed courses this spring!  What you have to do, though, is look at the listing under the Peace Studies minor link just mentioned, and see which of these are being offered this spring.  Or, better yet, come talk to me!  It is important to note that you should keep copies of your syllabi and all of the work you do for the cross listed courses. You will make use of these in the Capstone Seminar!

If you are interested in becoming a Peace Studies minor, I strongly encourage you to come talk with me (Laura Rediehs), or anyone else on the advisory board (Donna Alvah, Kathleen Buckley, or Eve Stoddard), soon!
