Graduate Programs
ACDIS cooperates with existing academic units to support the application
of disciplinary perspectives to the problems of peace and war. Graduate
credit is offered through departments, area studies centers, and colleges
of the University. ACDIS does not offer academic degrees. Courses
related to arms control, peace studies, and international security
are developed and taught by faculty affiliated with ACDIS from the
following departments or colleges: anthropology, agriculture, education,
history, mathematics, philosophy, physics, political science, and
nuclear engineering.
ACDIS maintains a working research library, organizes seminars, workshops,
and conferences, and produces and distributes a variety of publications
featuring faculty and student research. The program’s primary
areas of focus include: the uses of technology for security; South
Asia; security policy and policymaking; democratization in Russia
and the post-Communist states; the political, cultural and moral elements
of globalization; human rights; and military history.
Financial Aid
A research assistantship is awarded each year to an advanced graduate
student in the School of Library and Information Science to run the
ACDIS Library. ACDIS faculty research projects provide additional
research assistantships to students in disciplines relevant to the
field of study.
