Master of Negotiation & Dispute Resolution - Education Concentration

Conflict doesn’t always have to be a bad thing: when handled correctly, it can result in new ideas, innovation, and growth opportunities.

Creighton University’s Master’s in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution online degree program approaches conflict management and resolution beyond the narrow focus of advocating for each party’s positions. Instead, you’ll learn to identify creative solutions, zero in on areas of shared interest and improve communication to reveal previously undiscovered potential for collaboration and harmony.

The use of conflict resolution processes such as negotiation, facilitation, arbitration, and mediation is growing in a number of industries and areas of business, a trend that is reflected in the concentrations we offer.

The Collaborative Practice and Conflict Resolution in Education concentration explores conflict within the context of schools—conflict between students and institutions, organizational conflict between staff and faculty and other relevant issues.
