Why
would the Minor in Conflict Resolution interest me?
The Minor
in Conflict Resolution, sponsored by the Center for Global Peace and Conflict
Studies at UCI, is an interdisciplinary curriculum that can help students
both discover and prepare themselves for any career. The course of study
provides skills in Conflict analysis and resolution and a useful understanding
of integrative institutions at the local, regional, and international
levels. Conflict plays a key role in all areas of our lives. It can have
destructive or constructive potential. This program explores how conflict
arises, how it is represented and discussed, how it is prevented, mitigated,
managed, and used for change in interpersonal relations, within and between
organizations and other kinds of groups inside nations, and in conflict
between nations.
The curriculum
includes training to become a certified mediator in the State of California.
As and
enrolled minor you will be invited to special engagements where you
can interact with leading community and government officials from the
U.S. and other countries, prominent scholars, and other experts in local
and international conflict resolution.
The program
provides a residential theme house in Arroyo Vista for all interested
students. You can live with people who share your interests in the issues
of cooperation and conflict. House activities include frequent informal
discussions with UCI professors and our distinguished visitors, and
trips to sites of interest off campus.
