Gateway Community College

The Interdisciplinary Peace, Collaboration, and Conflict Certificate (IPCC) promotes the knowledge and skills leading to student success in meeting educational and workplace goals. Interactive traditional and online instruction and external service learning internships give students the opportunities to recognize their capacity to understand personal and global conflict and to use strategies that support emotional health and nonviolence. The Interdisciplinary Peace, Collaboration, and Conflict Certificate builds capacity in our communities to prevent and sustain a culture of nonviolence instead of reacting to it. Our faculty, staff, and students are involved in many local and statewide organizations that focus on the fields of peace education and collaborative conflict resolution. The Certificate promotes and coordinates services and educational opportunities to reduce and eliminate violence.
