Since college students will soon be repopulating Bowling Green and lately I've felt more and more jealous of them for getting to attend classes and be a part of organized education, I decided to spend some time this morning perpetuating my sadness by reading up on course offerings at the old alma mater. To my surprise, I discovered that beginning Fall 2008, BGSU will be offering a minor in Peace and Conflict Studies - including actual courses with the prefix PACS.
When I transferred to BGSU, I attempted to make a planned minor in Peace and Conflict Studies because it was what I wanted to study. My advisor offered me a course in International Studies and some History courses. I found that it made better sense to avoid the paper work and declare a minor in American Culture Studies, which incorporated a number of my interests. However, I still feel the desire to actually study peace so my it's been my goal since graduation to pursue a Master of Arts in Peace Studies along with an MSW.
So imagine my surprise when I saw this morning that I am again, ahead of my time. The BGSU PACS minor looks amazing and I so want to be a part of it. I can't be entirely frustrated though. I am excited that my former university is expanding its course offerings and I'd like to think that I was one of many now alumni who attempted to create a minor in Peace and Conflict, communicating to the College that this minor should be established.
Here's the link to the Peace and Conflict Studies Program. So...anyone know how much it costs to audit a course at BGSU?
