With a history spanning 40 years, the Carter School is a leading force in peace and conflict research and practice.

The Carter School’s graduate campus in Arlington, Virginia is a 15-minute metro ride from downtown Washington, DC. We are in close proximity to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, the US Institute of Peace, the US State Department, and the Dupont Circle neighborhood, which is home to many of the world’s leading NGOs and research and policy institutes working on genocide and mass atrocity prevention, sustainable development, conflict resolution, humanitarian relief and operations, human rights, environmental justice—and peacebuilding.
