Terrorism, Mediation, and Peace
Keeping America safe is often at the forefront of public policy. The Terrorism, Mediation, and Peace specialization focuses on issues such as war, oppression, terrorism, and social injustices that can have implications across the nonprofit, private, and public sectors. Coursework will allow you to examine the roots of terrorism, the impact of media and technology during times of crisis, and the factors that can contribute to violent acts, including poverty, religion, and antisocial behaviors. This specialization provides a foundation for public administrators who are charged with implementing public policy in response to potential dangers that threaten human rights and individual freedoms.
