The world is becoming increasingly connected and the ability to create and maintain cross-cultural connections is more important than ever. As the effects of violence and conflict are felt throughout the global community, we are seeing more and more opportunities for collaboration, problem solving, and peacebuilding in local communities and across international barriers. To prepare our students to make cross-cultural connections, Bachelor's of Arts in Conflict Analysis and Resolution students must demonstrate intermediate level proficiency in a foreign language.

All conflict analysis and resolution majors choose an area of concentration:

• Building Peace in Divided Societies
• Global Engagement
• Political and Social Action
• Justice and Reconciliation
• Interpersonal Dynamics
• Collaborative Leadership
• Environmental Conflict and Collaboration

Advising

Advisors help students create an interdisciplinary course of study that meets their interests and career goals. All majors are strongly encouraged to meet regularly with an academic advisor from the School who will help students develop and follow a coherent plan of study and complete the degree in a timely manner.
