Music and Peacebuilding

dove with treble clef in beak

Explore the intersections of music and peacebuilding with a hands-on, interdisciplinary major that tailors elective courses and practicum to a student's career goals. The combination of music and peacebuilding can be a powerful tool to creatively transform conflict and promote intercultural competence. In this program, students cultivate creativity as practitioners of music and peace, where in addition to the fundamental courses of both departments, students build a rich portfolio and engage in a significant practicum opportunity, which help students build a diverse set of skills to be marketable for employment.
