Master of Arts programs in Mediation provide a look at alternate forms of dispute resolution, along with an understanding of the underlying primary issues. Developing, honing, and putting acquired skills to use in theory as well as in practice enables students to be connected to opportunities in their community, workplaces, and other organizations in which they can seek to resolve conflict peacefully.

What is an MA in Peace and Conflict Studies? In the Master of Arts (MA) Peace and Conflict studies program, pupils learn about the origin of conflicts and how to resolve them by applying peace-building skills. Placing emphasis on preparing graduates to enter the workforce as proponents of peaceful social change means providing ample alternatives to violence. Students explore the possibilities for building peaceful, nonviolent social systems, societies, and communities with the experience and expertise gained in engaging with policymakers.

Students study and analyze contemporary conflict conditions and produce policy recommendations for a positive resolution. Benefits include cross-cultural communication skills and the opportunity to explore peace theory through spiritual and religious traditions, sustainable economics, and nonviolent social movements.

Program costs vary, and people who intend to pursue a graduate degree in this area are encouraged to compare and differentiate between those that align directly to their professional and personal goals and those that are more general. At that point, taking into consideration a program that is fully online or campus-based becomes simplified.

Developing practical skills in conflict resolution techniques assists students in the transformation of conflict through mediation, activism, policymaking, and other peace-building activities. Students can expect to see myriad job prospects in the for-profit and non-profit sectors. Examples include human rights, environmental protection, social work, journalism, foreign policy, and public service.

A multidisciplinary approach may be taken by a comprehensive program, which links practice and research with theory and critical analysis. Programs are available to students worldwide, bringing unique and global experiences into the education equation. Deciding to make a difference in your career by using your education as a force for positive change involves finding the best program for your needs.
