Conflict Resolution and Mediation

The ability to effectively resolve conflict is a skill required for success in today’s workforce. Competent conflict resolution professionals are in demand in many careers.

Students in this program develop a range of conflict analysis, conflict resolution and conflict communication skills. Our graduates are prepared to resolve conflict, negotiate and mediate, in both formal and informal situations including in the workplace, communities and with families.

This program has the advantage of providing a highly relevant experiential learning opportunity to students as they operate a conflict resolution service to support other students in preventing and resolving interpersonal conflict.

This hands-on learning experience can enhance on-the-job effectiveness and ensure our students are ready to handle diverse conflict scenarios, giving our graduates a competitive edge.

There is also another unique experiential learning option for students in which they take a class in a federal prison.
