Best Thesis in Conflict Resolution

 

The faculty of the Conflict Resolution Institute believe the thesis requirement is a significant part of our program and to celebrate Institute achievements, we give an annual award to one recent graduate for producing the best Master's thesis. The purpose of the award is to recognize the highest quality in our students, in their research, analysis, and writing. The award carries a cash prize of $500.

A committee composed of four members of the Conflict Resolution faculty evaluates all of the theses completed during the previous calendar year and decides the winner, announcing the award each spring.
