Program Overview
 

Hawaii provides an opportunity to study and practice conflict resolution in a multi-cultural setting. The population of one million people identify themselves with over a dozen distinct ethnic groups. Dispute resolution scholarship and practice encounter cultural differences constantly.

The Program on Conflict Resolution (PCR) at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa (UHM) is an interdisciplinary graduate certificate program supported by the Schools of Law and Education; the Departments of Speech, Political Science, Planning and Sociology; and the Shidler College of Business.

Faculty members participating in the program offer courses and conduct research in dispute resolution. Many faculty members also practice in areas such as divorce mediation; public policy facilitation; United Nations negotiations; and conflict resolution in schools, government, family business, social service agencies, and university settings.

Classified UHM graduate students may specialize in dispute resolution. The courses, practice and scholarship that comprise the specialty are individually designed for each student by the PCR faculty and the faculty in the student's degree program.

Students in the program have the opportunity to become trained and experienced practitioners. They may participate in dispute resolution training provided by PCR for the community, work closely in an apprenticeship role with one or more faculty practitioners, and join in the community mediation program. Students receive some academic credit for this work.
