The online Master’s Degree in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution is an interdisciplinary degree offered through the Werner Institute at the Creighton University School of Law. The program is grounded in legal problem solving, policy, and principles related to conflict management and mediation. But it also incorporates elements of business studies and the social sciences—including organizational development, psychology, sociology and communication—to help you prepare for the interpersonal element of conflict and negotiation. As a Jesuit institution, we instill a strong sense of ethics and service for others in our students and incorporate these values across the curriculum.
