THE U.N.-MANDATED GRADUATE SCHOOL OF PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES

The University for Peace (www.upeace.org) is the only university in the United Nations system authorized to offer academic degrees in the field of peace and conflict studies. Nine master's programmes offer specialized, multi-disciplinary courses and our international faculty use engaging and participatory teaching models for classroom instruction. Advanced students and young professionals from around the world attend the university.

The campus is located 30 kms southwest of San Jose, Costa Rica within a natural reserve composed of a secondary forest and the last remnant of primary forest (1.200 ha) in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. Hence, this protected area is very rich in fauna. It shelters mammals such as monkeys and deer; reptiles; and over 300 species of birds as well as approximately 100 varieties of trees. The University's installations and protected area make up 303 ha.
