Master of Arts degree and Post Baccalaureate Certificate in Conflict Resolution

Turning Conflict into Consensus, Cooperation, and Collaboration

UNCG is proud to be the first university in North Carolina to offer a Master of Arts degree and post-baccalaureate certificate in the growing field of Conflict Resolution. All courses for the degree and certificate are offered online. There is also a face-to-face in-class option.

Conflict Resolution is a unique and dynamic field of study offering professional training for adults eager to expand their career opportunities. Conflict Resolution skills add a valuable and timely interpersonal dimension in the areas of mediation, community development, human resources management, social work, and business consulting, to name just a few. The UNCG Conflict Resolution curriculum is a rich and challenging interdisciplinary program that draws from law, psychology, human resources, anthropology and sociology disciplines. Skills and strategies learned over the course of study become life-long tools for promoting peace, collaboration, and dialogue in all areas of life.

Our goal is to mold thoughtful and insightful conflict practitioners - professionals with a critical understanding of theory and method, and a deep appreciation of diversity, human rights, and personal responsibility.
