Mediation
and Conflict
Resolution
Program actively engages mediation
providers in the community to develop
opportunities for its students. Participants
receive hands-on mediation and conflict
resolution training that actively reinforces the
classroom training.
Certificate Program
Who Should Attend
The Program
The State of California increasingly favors
resolving disputes before they evolve into
litigation or, alternatively, before litigation
requires a trial. Mediation is the primary
method of "alternative dispute resolution"
because it allows disputants to resolve their
issues voluntarily and quickly with the aid of
a trained mediator, thereby reducing costs for
both the disputants and the court system.
CSUDH College of Extended and International
Education’s Mediation and Conflict
Resolution Certificate Program offers the
most comprehensive training available in any
single-semester program in this fast-growing
field.
This extension certificate program consists of
three courses and awards four (4) graduate
extension units. It combines theory with
application and practice over the duration of
one semester.
