Conflict Resolution electives are graduate-level courses that address conflict resolution, the origins and nature of conflict, mediation, post-conflict development, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding (or another aspect of the field as discussed with academic advisors). Students may take Conflict Resolution electives in programs across campus, given program approval. Any elective offered by the Conflict Resolution program fulfills this requirement.

The area or region-specific elective focuses on a particular geographic region or area, deepening students’ knowledge as applied in the world. An area focus can include courses focused on the United States and/or North America.
