Bachelor of Arts in Peace, War, and Defense

Peace and war are among the oldest dreams and most difficult challenges of human experience. The curriculum brings together faculty and courses from many disciplines to provide undergraduates with a range of approaches to the fundamental issues of human conflict and national and global security and defense. The Curriculum prepares majors for graduate work in several of the humanities and social sciences, for a variety of professional schools, and for a wide range of employment. Graduates have found employment with federal agencies, state and local governments, international NGOs, banks, and other businesses. Others have attended graduate and professional schools in security studies, government, history, international relations, and law. The strength of the Curriculum is its broad, interdisciplinary perspective combined with its depth of focus on topics that span the range of human experience across time and national boundaries, from science and technology to ethics and public policy. Students interested in federal work in the defense and intelligence fields are strongly encouraged to pursue advanced study in a “strategic language” such as Chinese, Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, or Russian. But it is important to note that this major prepares a student broadly for success in many fields. It is a liberal arts major, and recent studies have shown that such degrees are the best preparation for long-term career success because it fosters analytical and communicative skills.
