The Graduate Certificate in Conflict Analysis & Resolution offers students the
fundamentals of conflict resolution and practice. It is intended to meet the needs of those
individuals who seek introductory graduate training in conflict resolution. It may also be
appropriate for professionals who have already earned a graduate degree in their
professional field, but who would benefit from academic study of applications of conflict
analysis & resolution in their current profession.
The Graduate Certificate in Conflict Analysis & Resolution consists of eight courses (24
credits), which include conflict resolution theory and practice skills. Students who decide
to continue their studies in conflict resolution may apply these credit hours toward the
M.S. in Conflict Analysis & Resolution if accepted to the program.
The Graduate Certificate in Conflict Analysis & Resolution is offered in both residential
and distance learning formats. These flexible formats allow mid-career working adults
and those unable to attend the residential program, to study conflict resolution in a
creative, rigorous, and structured fashion. Students enrolled in the distance learning
program participate in Residential Institutes on the main campus twice per year, as well
as online Web-based courses.
Students may enroll full or part time, taking three to nine credit hours per term.
Students who attend full-time can expect to complete the program in 10 months. Parttime
students will complete the program in 19 months. Summer attendance is
mandatory.
