\n Master of Sustainable Peacebuilding (MSP)
MSP<\/div>\n <\/h1>\n<\/header>\n \n\n\n\n\n

The Master of Sustainable Peacebuilding program is no longer accepting applications. If you are interested in our graduate microcredentials in Sustainable Peacebuilding, please contact our Academic Program Manager<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Master of Sustainable Peacebuilding responds to a global and local need for professionals with advanced training in a rapidly growing field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the International Commission on Education for Sustainable Development Practice (2008), there is a gap in graduate programs that train students to think and plan holistically across disciplines and fields. Our program is designed to address that gap harnessing cutting-edge ideas and tools in peacebuilding education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With generous donations from the J.M. Kohler, Wm. Collins Kohler and Underwood foundations, the MSP was created in 2013. MSP alumni are leaders in the field, bringing a new way of thinking to their work as they navigate pressing global problems, such as climate change, homelessness, food security and health disparities. Graduates of the MSP are\u202fwell-versed in systems thinking, tools for structural change and the importance of embracing complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n

MSP Learning Philosophy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MSP uses classroom- and community-based learning to teach critical leadership skills in systems thinking, conflict analysis, facilitation, strategic planning and evaluation. The program is rooted in practice \u2013 students learn through hands-on, collaborative class projects and a fieldwork practicum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The MSP embraces a cohort-based, trans-disciplinary model, and students are drawn from diverse academic, socio-cultural and professional backgrounds. Dialogue and relationship-building among students is central to the MSP learning philosophy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
