Our Story

The International Peace and Conflict Resolution master’s degree offers an innovative curriculum that allows students to develop an area of concentration within the discipline of international peace and conflict resolution, build an international network of contacts among the international conflict resolution community, and gain practical experience in the field. Students in this program don't just read about peace and conflict studies, they travel to key sites of international conflict and research real-world solutions. In short, we train and educate you to do mission-driven work. *IPCR Social Media Community Standards* IPCR social media outlets are intended to be used as a communication channel between the program and its constituency for the purpose of disseminating relevant information and engaging in appropriate dialogue pertaining to the field and the program.
