Concurrent Degrees

The skills and understandings developed in the study of conflict and its resolution offer added value when paired with other professional pursuits. Students of business, international studies, political science, environmental studies, psychology, sociology, and public administration, for example, can significantly add to their qualifications in these fields by developing expertise in the management of conflict.

Students entering the Master's program in Conflict and Dispute Resolution have the option of obtaining concurrent degrees, either a JD and Master's in four years or two Master's degrees in three years. Likewise, students from other disciplines can add to their credentials and skills by pursuing a concurrent Conflict and Dispute Resolution Master's.

Arrangements for satisfying the requirements of both graduate degrees (electives, internships, theses) are made on a case-by-case basis.
