Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies
The Kroc School of Peace Studies opened in fall 2007. The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice was established thanks to Mrs. Kroc's gift of $75 million in-all "to not only teach peace, but make peace". The first Master’s level graduate students entered the Kroc Institute in 2002 for a 12-month program. In August 2009, the master's program added a 17-month track and the first seven graduates completed their studies in December 2010.
