What do PAGS Graduates have to say about the program?

"PAGS is a wonderfully unique program that will allow you the opportunity to explore many different departments at EC through classes that are cross-listed. It's not only academic, but helped me to develop a strong world view and principles to live by."

— Kymberlie Quong Charles '02

"Dig into this program and get everything possible out of it. It will help you later in ways you can't predict."

— Kim Christensen '76

"I speculate that the uniqueness of the program at least made me stand out [in applying to graduate programs more] than the thousands of English or History majors."

— Sara R. Bradbury '99

"I actually see job descriptions, particularly in the United Nations, requesting candidates with a peace studies background."

— Hannah Entwisle '99

"So many areas of study can impart you with tools or even ways to think, but PAGS is special and distinctive in that it can help you craft a theory of action or an underlying philosophy to guide your action. There's a lot of hard and important work to be done in this world and it becomes much more possible to stay the course when you have an informed and historically grounded perspective on social change."

— Marc Lavine '93
