The conflict and dispute resolution (CRES) master’s program, housed in the School of Law, provides students with the opportunity to develop the conceptual knowledge and professional skills needed to engage conflict in a variety of contexts.
This interdisciplinary program is composed of four main parts: core courses, electives, internship, and a final project.
The core curriculum balances theory with skills courses to provide students with a solid foundation. Students are then able to match their electives, internship(s), and final project to a specific area of specialization.
Sectors of conflict resolution include but are not limited to: restorative justice, education, environmental, public policy, international, organizational/workplace, family, labor/management, community, etc.
Graduates of the program gain access to a wide range of professional opportunities.
