Transform Conflict Into Positive Change

Where most people see conflict as a problem, we consider it a normal part of the human experience and an opportunity to cultivate positive change. Rated one of the nation's best programs for training new leaders in negotiation, mediation, facilitation, and dialogue, the MS-CMR degree will give you the practical skills, expertise and experience to learn how to effectively manage and resolve conflicts. Through experimentation, simulation and practice, inside and outside the classroom, you will understand and address individual, organizational, and system-level conflict in a variety of cultural contexts.
