Certificate Requirements


The Conflict and Collaboration Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) program can be completed on campus or online, concurrently with a master’s degree program or as a stand-alone program. The 12-credit, graduate-level CAS in Conflict and Collaboration is an educational program that allows students to engage in more in-depth study of conflict theory, concepts, and skills. To earn the certificate, students complete a required 3-credit course in Fundamentals of Conflict Studies and 9 additional credits of graduate coursework selected from a list of accepted courses or determined with the guidance of a faculty advisor. Students may complete a general program of study, or they may concentrate their classes in one of five specialized areas of study: (1) Applied Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management; (2) Advocacy and Social Movements; (3) Collaborative Governance; (4) Environmental Public Participation and Conflict; or (5) Transnational Conflicts. Online certificate students complete the required course plus 3 specified skills-oriented courses.

Students already in a graduate program can earn the Certificate concurrently with their master’s or doctoral degree. Mid-career managers may complete the CAS as an independent graduate program. Please contact the PARCC Office by phone (315.443.2367) or by email (parcc@syr.edu) with questions about the certificate program and how to apply.
