The CCR provides students with introductory courses in international negotiation and conflict resolution including alternative dispute resolution, regional conflict resolution, gender and crosscultural issues in conflict.
Interactive simulation exercises allow students to participate as negotiators and mediators.
Advanced courses are offered in various professional fields including nonproliferation, human security, trade, and environment. Students must accumulate 16 units of required and elective courses as outlined in the Certificate requirements. The CCR is an increasingly popular supplement to established degree programs as it is geared toward advancing both theoretical and practical skills in the evolving art and science of international conflict and dispute resolution. Students have formed a Conflict Resolution Club that provides assistance to students seeking internship and careers in the field.
