Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies at the University of San Diego

At the University of San Diego Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, we promote a multifaceted approach to peacebuilding and social justice, integrating theory and practice in the classroom as well as in communities worldwide.

We researched some of the toughest, most troubling phenomena of our times, producing rigorous and innovative work published in a wide variety of outlets.

Students from all over the world are prepared by outstanding faculty and gain experience in the field through our Internship Program and the Kroc School institutes - the Institute for Peace and Justice, the Trans-Border Institute, and the Center for Peace and Commerce (the latter in partnership with the School of Business Administration).

The Kroc School is a resource for international peacebuilding and changemakers, students, faculty, community members and all who are dedicated to peace and justice.
