The Peace, Conflict and Security Studies (PACS) Certificate Program enables students to examine the root causes of conflict and violence while developing strategies for constructive conflict resolution. Offered through the College of Arts and Sciences, this program is open to all University of Colorado Boulder students regardless of their school or major.
This interdisciplinary program examines conflict dynamics, cooperation patterns, and peace processes. Students explore theoretical frameworks and analytical approaches for understanding both domestic and international conflicts, along with opportunities for individual and societal transformation. The curriculum combines academic study with practical training in conflict mediation and community engagement. Students gain real-world experience through service opportunities, international study programs, and internships with relevant organizations.
