Faith Peace and Justice Program

Faith, Peace & Justice Course Clusters

Faith Peace and Justice - A Structured Exploration of Student's Interest or Concern (4 electives).

An important feature of the FPJ minor is its flexibility in meeting the interest of the student by creating a "cluster" of elective courses reflecting your particular concern. Here are some examples of clustering electives around common themes for justice, peace, or professional ethical issues. The example "clusters" of electives below are offered as illustrations of the many possible paths of inquiry open to students within the FPJ minor.
