Programs of Study

The Institute offers two academic program choices, both of which can be taken on campus or in a new online/hybrid format:

• Certificate in Conflict Management. This academic program consists of 15 hours of coursework. Students who desire introductory instruction and skill development in negotiation, communication and the culture of conflict management will benefit from the certificate program. The certificate will enhance the career of individuals whose employment requires some degree of conflict management skills.

• Master of Arts in Conflict Management. This is a 30 hour non-thesis or thesis program.  Students who require advanced instruction and skill development in cross-cultural, business specific and high-level professional development will want to seek the M.A. in Conflict Management. The masters degree will equip students to offer professional level expertise in conflict management and dispute resolution
