Conflict Resolution Studies
This program explores the nature and dynamics of human conflict and looks at appropriate alternatives for dealing with conflict in ways that develop healthy relationships and prevent violence.
Conflict Resolution Studies (CRS) is a joint program offered through the cooperation of The University of Winnipeg and Menno Simons College (MSC). Conflict Resolution Studies prepares students to understand and interact constructively in response to personal, local, and global conflict situations. Topics include violence, power, justice, peace, communication, and dispute resolution.
Conflict Resolution Studies is an interdisciplinary program that allows you to customize your university education to fit your educational and career goals. A Major in Conflict Resolution Studies can be combined with a Major in another area of study such as Psychology, Business, Politics, Religious Studies, Sociology, Criminal Justice, or International Development Studies.
This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year). Students taking an undergraduate degree in another Major may choose to add a Minor in Conflict Resolution Studies as a secondary area of interest.
The MSC program is offered by Canadian Mennonite University (CMU), in affiliation with The University of Winnipeg. All courses offered through the MSC program are open to University of Winnipeg students and subject to University of Winnipeg approval and policies. Conflict Resolution Studies degrees are conferred by The University of Winnipeg.
