The program is founded on theory and skills in psychology, sociology, philosophy and conflict resolution. Students will learn how conflicts arise from an interpersonal and social perspective. Students will also learn many ways that conflicts can be handled and how professionals have learned to help resolve conflicts peacefully between and among individuals, groups and in the world. The Conflict Resolution program will work in partnership with the Howard Community College Mediation and Conflict Resolution Center (HCC MCRC), and students will find opportunities to observe and practice skills in class and in cooperation with the HCC MCRC.
