Thailand Peace Studies Program becomes permanent
By Diana Schoberg 

Call it a step toward a lasting peace -- or a lasting peace program 
at least. 

The Rotary Foundation has announced that the peace and conflict 
studies program at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, will 
become a permanent peace education initiative. 

The three-month professional development certificate program began in 
2006 as a three-year pilot aimed at mid- to upper-level professionals 
working for government and nongovernmental organizations in need of a 
shorter program than the two-year peace studies master's degrees 
offered at the other six Rotary Centers for International Studies . 

The certificate and master's degree options will now be integrated 
into one program. Applicants will be able to use the same application 
to apply for all seven of the peace studies centers, and 
administration of the master's and certificate programs will be 
streamlined. 

While the Rotary Center at Chulalongkorn University will continue to 
offer two sessions -- January to April and June to August -- 
applications for both sessions will now be due on 1 July, at the same 
time as the master's degree option.
