With a MA in Conflict Management, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to negotiate and diffuse conflict. You can opt to take classes on campus or online, and to pursue a thesis project or externship as part of your coursework. Either way, you’ll learn from experts in the field what it takes to create consensus and community.
For students seeking shorter bursts of learning, our Graduate Certificate in Conflict Management covers the core principles of handling conflict and readies you to put them into action. We also have training workshops from Rule 31 Mediation to situational conflict strategies that target specific concerns and equip you with the tools to address them.
