Diplomacy, criminal justice, community advocacy, human resources – these are just a few of the career possibilities awaiting graduates of George Mason’s School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution. Their background in examining the roots of discord and thinking about strategies to promote peaceful solutions makes students marketable in a variety of settings. Undergraduates receive core instruction in conflict theory, analysis, and resolution before concentrating on one of three areas: Interpersonal conflict, Community/organizational conflict, or Global conflict. Students bridge the gap between theory and practice through three required credits of field experience, for which neighboring Washington, D.C. proves beneficial. The school also offers master’s and doctoral degrees, including opportunities to join the Peace Corps and to study Mediterranean security at the University of Malta. Additional educational opportunities exist through specialized centers and programs at GMU. The Center for the Study of Gender and Conflict, for example, offers grants and faculty guidance for student-driven initiatives addressing gendered violence.
