Peace & Conflict Studies Associate of Arts Degree

The Peace & Conflict Studies Associate of Arts Degree is a two-year, university-transferable programme examining the dynamics of violence and peace from the interpersonal to the international level. Coursework introduces the structural causes of war and violence and surveys initiatives aimed at addressing institutionalized and interpersonal violence, including engagement with the history and impact of colonialism in Canada. Students explore alternative approaches to transforming conflict across multiple levels of society. Credits are university-transferable and can be applied toward further study at a partner institution. The programme is available on a full-time or part-time basis, with intakes in January, May, and September. As of the Fall 2025 semester, new applications to the Associate of Arts stream have been suspended until further notice.
