Overview
The Certificate in Conflict Transformation is a one-year, low-residency, 14-16 graduate credits and professional development program. Through a combination of pedagogical approaches, participants develop theoretical knowledge and practical, hands-on skills needed to design and manage programs that transform conflict and promote healing and reconciliation in individuals and communities torn by violent conflict.
