Negotiations and Conflict Management, Master ofScience
Dr. Donald Mulcahey, Program Director
FACULTY: Selected faculty from the Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts, the Merrick
School of Business and the School of Law
The M.S. in Negotiations and Conflict Management is a 42-credit program designed to
prepare students for professional careers in the field of negotiations and conflict management.
Although it is administered by the Division of Legal, Ethical, and Historical
Studies, the program is intensely interdisciplinary. The curriculum draws upon the courses
and expertise of all three of the Universiry's academic units: the School of Law, the
Merrick School of Business and the Yale Gordon College of Liberal Arts.
In addition to specialized courses in conflict theory and methods of dispute prevention
and resolution, the program requires courses in a variety of disciplines that provide a specific
focus on the contextual serrings in which conflicts and disputes arise, and on the
potential alternatives for resolution or serrlement in that context. The infusion of/egal,
business, social science, and humanities perspectives into this program is designed to challenge
students to gain a broad and rich understanding ofconflict and conflict management.
Such understanding enhances their abiliry to develop successful careers in this
rapidly growing field of scholarship and professional practice, which spans both the public
and private sectors.
