PCJ Major
To complete a major program in Peace, Conflict and Justice, students must take 7.5 FCEs. These 7.5 FCEs are categorized in three clusters as listed below. Each course requirement is individual and cannot be used more than once. A course taken on a CR/NCR basis may not be used to satisfy program requirements.
Students are strongly encouraged to fill out a POS (Program of Study) form and submit it to the Program Coordinator by the end of their first year in the program. The Program Director and Program Coordinator will review the form for approval. Please consult the University of Toronto Faculty of Arts and Science Annual Calendar before filling out your POS form.

Cluster 4
Three complementary FCEs with either a disciplinary, regional, or thematic focus relevant to Peace, Conflict and Justice (on approval of the Director, based on the needs of students’ interdisciplinary programs of study). At least 1.0 FCEs must be at the 300+-level. Up to 1.0 FCEs of MUN courses may be used to fulfill this requirement, subject to approval by the Director.
Courses used in clusters 1 and 2 cannot be repeated in this cluster.
Disciplinary focus:
3.0 FCEs from one of ANT, ECO, GGR and Environmental Studies (combined), HIS, PHL, POL, PSY, RLG, SLA, SOC, or from other units with a rationale approved by the Program Director.
(Note: The disciplinary focus in this cluster must be different from the discipline chosen in Cluster 3. For instance, HIS is excluded for students who have taken 3 HIS FCEs to meet Cluster 3; POL is excluded for students who have taken 3 POL FCEs, etc.)
Regional Studies focus:
3.0 FCEs on, for example, Canada, Southern Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, or the Slavic countries.
Thematic focus:
3.0 FCEs on a thematic topic proposed by the student and approved by the Program Director. Examples include negotiation and conflict resolution, diplomatic history, gender and conflict, morality of war, quantitative analysis, group-identity conflict, economic development and conflict, literature, culture, and everyday life of conflict, or environmental change and conflict.
