Peace Educator curriculum

Hey all - here's what I've put together as my curriculum. I had to create my own packet of courses b/c there's not anything like this at my school - nothing that specifically addresses Peace Education. My program director was absolutely cool & supportive - probably because I added another year (or so) onto my program. It's remotely possible I'll end up with two masters but I'm not ready to make that committment yet (if ever).

This looks a *lot* scarier than it is. Some of those classes are weekend seminars, some I may just audit, and I have leeway with some of the 'required' courses. There are some that are required by the dept, some that I've determined are important enough for me to consider required. That said, it's going to be a LOT of work - but I'm already loving it!

Oh yeah - I've already taken some of the stuff in the Electives list - it's stuff I'm taking this term and a couple of summer classes. What I take is also *terribly* dependent on what's offered and what I can afford...
