Peace and World Security
Studies (PAWSS)
The Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies
(PAWSS) was established in 1982 by faculty from the Five College consortium
(Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College,
and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst) to enhance undergraduate
education in the field of peace and international security studies.
Undergraduate Education Guide provides an overview of the field of peace studies at the undergraduate level and links to colleges, by state, that offer undergraduate programs in peace studies.
Graduate Education Guide lists graduate programs alphabetically, as well as law schools and fellowships that emphasize peace studies.
Careers and Internships Guide alphabetically lists organizations that work to prevent nuclear war, demilitarize the conduct of foreign policy, reduce state-sponsored oppression, promote human rights, promote equitable economic development, protect civil liberties in the United States, promote environmental protection, support grassroots participation in political processes, or support education for global awareness. The organizations listed have been coded according to the subject areas they address, and the types of activity they undertake. There is also a separate list of professional organizations that deal with Peace Studies and a list of US Government agencies that might offer career opportunities to Peace Studies graduates. This is only a starting point in any search for an internship or job.
