About Us
Washington & Jefferson College's Conflict and Resolution Studies concentration provides interdisciplinary and international perspectives on the cases of conflict and the possibilities of resolution. The concentration offers theoretical insights into the causes of conflicts - some positive and creative but far too many tragically destructive. The concentration courses embrace the study of interpersonal, intergroup, and societal conflicts in different cultures across the world. Exploration of resolution strategies, social justice issues, ethical concerns, and leadership qualities are features of the concentration. Conflict and Resolution 101 is a requirement for the concentration. In this course students study troubles in the family, between countries, and in our own country.
