About The Program


History  |  Faculty & Staff

History of the Program:

Established in 1948, the Peace Studies Institute and Program for Conflict Resolution at Manchester College pioneered as the first undergraduate Peace Studies program in the United States. The curriculum offers a major in Peace Studies as well as a minor. The Peace Studies Institute sponsors public conferences and programs for the college and community on topics related to world peace and conflict resolution. The Bulletin of the Peace Studies Institute and Program in Conflict Resolution publishes academic papers and news of the program. Recent issues have included autobiographies of contemporary peacemakers, faculty articles on peace and justice topics, responses to military conscription in World War II, and reports from our non-governmental representative to the United Nations.
