Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution, B.A. All Focus Options Curriculum Guide  (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)

The conflict analysis and dispute resolution major is housed in the Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution Department. The curriculum requirements for the conflict analysis and dispute resolution major are designed to provide a sound pre-professional training ground for undergraduate students who intend to pursue professional conflict intervention positions or to continue in a higher education setting. The major is designed to provide specialized pre-professional training with its emphasis on analytical and practical skills. While remaining anchored in a liberal arts tradition and strongly rooted in the social sciences, the program is designed to easily allow students to study in other fields outside the major in order to enrich these skills and these traditions. Faculty work with students individually to develop strong analytical and practical skills. Students are also guided in the development of a work ethic appropriate to professional conflict resolution practitioners.

The major in conflict analysis and dispute resolution (CADR) requires time in the field working with organizations and institutions that need conflict resolution services. The major has an internship and field research requirement that can be completed in the local community, the region, nation or internationally.
