Highlights

What is Conflict Resolution?--Conflict resolution is focused on moving conflict presentation and escalation to solution. The approach emphasizes processes of behavior used to assist in this transformation to help commit disputing parties to mutually acceptable positions and to build and enlarge relationships of trust among them.

Why study Conflict Resolution at DU?--DU offers a truly interdisciplinary degree combining Communications, Law, Business, Social Work, International Studies, Professional Psychology, Theology, and an Alternative Dispute Resolution certificate program at University College.

Our Conflict Resolution program has deep academic roots, drawing on well established courses spread over various departments within the university alongside newly developed course subjects.

Our Conflict Resolution faculty members are enthusiastic supporters. The core of 14 tenured professors are engaged in teaching and/or research in the field and provide students course options, diversity of views, and quality instruction.

Our Conflict Resolution M.A. degree offers an attractive tuition rate package. Students take about half of their courses at the normal, traditional University of Denver credit hour fee, and the remaining classes from University College, where fees are cut by more than 50%.

Our Conflict Resolution course scheduling is flexible. To accommodate working professionals, many of the classes are taught in the evenings or on weekends. Check Schedule Archives for all of our participating academic units.
