The Urban Center for Peace

The Urban Center for Peace is a Center in the College of Education at the University of Cincinnati that administers certificates in Peace Education and Urban Education. The Consortium on Peace Research Education and Development (COPRED) estimates that there are now more than 300 Peace Studies programs in the U.S. alone (see Peace Studies Association as well). Some of these programs offer certificates and others offer undergraduate and graduate degrees. For more than a decade, The Urban Center for Peace has offered a Certificate in Peace Education. Approximately three years ago, we added a Certificate in Urban Education. The mission of the Center is to educate students in Peace and Urban Education and to conduct workshops, seminars, conferences, research and internships in pursuit of this goal.

Research & Development

The interface of our work in urban education and peace education uniquely shapes our research and development. We were most recently invited to design the training for several inner city school-based programs sponsored, in part, by Ohio Criminal Justice Services. We are developing and implementing a coordinated training model for parents, students, and teachers.

Program Evaluation

We emphasize outcome-based evaluation and action research in the conduct of program evaluation.
