Cert in Dispute Resolution

Kansas State University offers this undergraduate certificate for learners who want a structured introduction to how disagreements arise and how they can be worked through. The curriculum looks at theory as well as practice, helping students think critically about the people and situations involved in a dispute. Skill areas include communication, leading constructive change, negotiation, handling disputes, and mediation-style alternatives to formal proceedings. These abilities apply in companies, nonprofits, health care, schools and social service agencies, and they also help in everyday personal relationships. Instruction is delivered fully online by faculty who teach on campus. Students may take the same subject at the undergraduate, graduate or professional tier, so the certificate can be matched to where a learner currently stands academically.
