The graduate certificate in Conflict Management focuses on preparing students to be confident, capable, and resilient leaders through the challenges in their professional and personal lives. Engaging students in innovative, experiential, and supported learning environments that are founded on self-discovery, our common humanity, and critical inquiry into civil discourse and collaborative engagement across diverse groups and perspectives are unique tenets of this program.
Understand the nature of conflict and its impact on relationships, teams, organizations, and communities while applying effective communication, negotiation, mediation, and facilitation strategies. Use interdisciplinary approaches to analyze and resolve workplace challenges, emphasizing empathy, diversity, cultural awareness, and self-management in high-conflict situations.
