Contact: Jason Carter, 978-934-6785, Jason_Carter@uml.edu.
It is vitally important that we understand the causes of conflict, learn constructive ways to resolve them, and build peaceful relationships. Social injustice is a key source of conflict, and the dynamics of inequality and diversity are at the core of this program.
The certificate will be particularly valuable for:
- Those who have encountered conflict in their personal and/or professional lives.
- People working in very diverse fields, such as human services, law enforcement, health care, business, education and community organizing, who need skills in understanding and handling conflicts.
- Undergraduates interested in graduate studies.
This certificate program requires the completion of 12 credits comprised of one required course and three approved electives.
