Conflict Analysis and Resolution, Ph.D. The doctoral program, the first of its kind in the United States, provides advanced study for students in the fields of conflict and conflict resolution. Students are prepared for careers as researchers, theoreticians, and teachers in higher education, and as policy administrators, analysts, and consultants in both the public and private sectors. The program stresses a close link between knowledge of theory and of process in the resolution of conflict. In addition, students are expected to obtain a background in a substantive area of conflict, usually related to the topic of the dissertation. In addition to the four requirements listed for applicants to the M.S. program, requirements for the Ph.D. program include a written sample of work that shows the applicant's potential for completing dissertation research in a doctoral program.
