Master of Arts in Peace, Conflict and Security Studies

Oklahoma State University

The M.A. in Peace, Conflict and Security Studies is designed to develop students' substantive knowledge of the conditions that promote both negative peace (absence of violence) and positive peace (setting a foundation for a just and sustainable society), and train them in the analytical skills necessary to understand the complexities of peace and conflict across the globe. The degree is prepares students for careers in security and intelligence, human rights, humanitarian work, peacebuilding, international development, post-conflict reconstruction, and community advocacy/organizing. We also provide students the substantive depth and research skills for entry into Ph.D. programs and academic careers.
