Study Abroad Component
Peace Education, Conflict Resolution and Much More
International Peace and Conflict Resolution is one of the few graduate programs in the field of peace and conflict resolution with a built-in overseas component — one that is founded in Arcadia’s long tradition of University-based international programs.
Peace and Conflict Studies Abroad
What better way to study peace and conflict in other countries than by immersing yourself in their cultures? In addition to the second-year study abroad component, IPCR students have the option of participating in weeklong intensive “preview” field studies during their first year. Students may travel to Northern Ireland in the fall and/or to Costa Rica in the spring. The off-campus courses and professional experience in international peace and conflict studies, completed in the second year, may be undertaken at a number of partner institutions, including:
In addition to the above schools, students have chosen to study peace studies, conflict resolution and more at the following:
- Program in Peace and Conflict Studies at the University of Ulster, Belfast, Northern Ireland
- M.A. program in Peace and Development Studies at the University of Jaume I in Castellon, Spain
- Central European University in Budapest, Hungary
- Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, The Netherlands
- The Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland
- European University Center for Peace Studies in Austria
- University of London School of Oriental and African Studies, UK

- Auckland University, New Zealand
- The University of Sydney, Australia
- Department of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford, UK
- The University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania
- The University of Cape Town in South Africa
In addition to these programs, conflict resolution and peace studies in the second year and fieldwork experience abroad will be individually designed to reflect the International Peace and Conflict Resolution student’s specific area of interest. With the permission of the program director, M.A. candidates also have the option, based on their areas of interest, to fulfill second-year study and fieldwork credits within the United States.
