Overview
The Conflict Resolution Institute offers the Master of Arts degree.
The University of Denver also has a “Flexible
Dual” degree option where a student works on 2 M.A.
degrees simultaneously under a plan that reduces total credits
normally required separately for each degree.
Normal completion time for the M.A. is 1 calendar year for a full time student. For a flex-dual
program, add one to three more years depending on the program. Students may enroll part-time or full-time.
The interdisciplinary program in Conflict Resolution is focused
on the study and application of alternative theories, various
types of bargaining and negotiation techniques, and related ethical
issues, examined through selected cases of conflict to understand
how to manage and improve social patterns and policy choices between
individuals, within organizations, and across cultures.
The program combines a scholarly and vocational approach—theory
with practice—in exploring a range of environments where
conflict arises, such as
The Political arena: from international diplomacy
to national and local government policy discussion;
The Business arena: from corporate boardrooms
to management-worker relations and human resources issues;
The Personal arena: from social work to family
counseling to parent-child relations.
The study of Conflict Resolution is directed toward a wide range
of professionals in today’s world, including mediators,
social workers, counselors, business managers, clergy, diplomats,
school and university administrators.
