Careers
Conflict Resolution training encourages effectiveness and efficiency in problem solving in a variety of settings. Lawyers may enhance their credentials by adding mediation to their practice; human resource personnel may offer new forms of corporate and bureaucratic solution techniques; diplomats will add to their repertoire of negotiation talents in cross-cultural environments; community organizers, educators, and clergy will expand their strategies and techniques of creative methods for conflict management.
Students who complete the degree will have a comprehensive, compassionate understanding of social problems. They will be able to foresee, analyze, and implement trends in conflict management, and will be able to apply technical skills to creatively construct problem-solving options. Finally, they will develop an increased social awareness of conflict resolution complexities in culturally diverse groups.
The MA in Conflict Resolution prepares students for positions of leadership in management, negotiation, and mediation at all levels--from community to corporate settings, and from local government to international organizations. The educational training is designed for anyone wishing to enhance skills for managing conflict in their current profession; and it offers a wide base of skills for jobs in which the management of conflict is an asset.
University of Denver Conflict Resolution Institute graduates work in human resource departments and victim offender reconciliation programs; others are pursuing careers as family mediators, conflict management trainers, paralegal specialists, and school counselors. The first graduate from the program jointed the United State Foreign Service; a recent graduate secured a position with the Department of Homeland Security.
