• A growing network of committed alumni employed around the world in diplomacy, government, non-governmental organizations and private corporations.

“Strengthening the leaders of today” -Professional Certificate Option

• Three month professional development certificate program
• Designed specifically for candidates already working in the field of peace and conflict studies to further their understanding of conflict resolution
