Negotiation and Dispute Resolution Certificate

A Graduate Certificate through the Werner Institute

In today's world, conflict is a fundamental fact of life, whether on the job or on a personal level. But it's possible to achieve positive and productive outcomes to conflict, whenever and wherever it may arise.

The graduate certificate in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution offered through the Werner Institute at Creighton University's School of Law teaches you effective techniques of conflict management, negotiation, and online dispute resolution from a systemic approach.

The Creighton methodology, as taught at the renowned Werner Institute, is an interdisciplinary one that promotes a broad understanding of how to bring parties with conflicting interests together and reach optimal solutions. The program combines foundational principles, advanced theories, and practical applications of dispute resolution and team-building skills to help you become a specialist in collaborative problem-solving. You'll learn to evaluate and manage potentially volatile situations from a broad perspective rather than a narrow view that simply identifies specific grievances between parties.

The online graduate certificate can be completed in as soon as eight months, encompassing 16 credit hours with a five-day residency requirement. You can also choose to matriculate into Creighton's full Master's Degree in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution program by completing an additional 16 credit hours.

If you choose to enroll in the online negotiation and dispute resolution certificate program, you'll take the same courses developed by highly credentialed faculty that teach students in the master's program. You'll learn by participating in intensive conflict resolution and negotiation training, which gives you unparalleled experience through simulated role-playing and interactive sessions in the five-day residency.
