The Peace Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program devoted to research and teaching on the problems of war and peace, arms control and disarmament, and more generally, instances of collective violence.

The Program is affiliated with Cornell University's Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. Students and faculty involved in the program come from a wide variety of Cornell units.

The program supports a number of activities during the year focused on our central missions of supporting student and faculty teaching and research, cross-campus interactions, and off-campus outreach. Besides hosting workshops and lectures, the program co-sponsors a number of speakers, symposia, and other special events with other campus groups. We especially encourage anyone on campus or in the community to attend our weekly seminar at noon on Thursdays in Uris Hall. Click on the calendar of events to view upcoming topics and details. Please join us.

The Peace Studies Program does not offer academic credit or undergraduate major or concentration. Courses sponsored by the Program are listed within academic departments, which assign credit for them. There is a graduate minor field in Peace Studies and Peace Science.
