Joint Master of Arts in Peace and Conflict Studies
This is a new Masters program offered jointly by the University of Winnipeg and the University of Manitoba, that began in September 2010.
The Joint M.A. Program in Peace and Conflict Studies
(JMP-PACS) encompasses the analysis and resolution of social conflicts;
peace research that examines the structural roots of social conflicts,
divisions, and social inequalities; and strategies for building
community and promoting social justice. The Program is intended to be
rigorous as the significance of research and intervention for conflict
resolution, peace-building, and creating a culture of human rights
demands a high standard of commitment, scholarship, and professionalism.
