Kent State University

The Center’s undergraduate degree program, established in 1973, is one of the oldest — and currently one of the largest — peace and conflict studies programs in the country. Our popular “Introduction to Conflict Management” class is open to all majors, and satisfies Kent CORE and diversity requirements. Additional classes offered through the Center provide more intensive training in negotiation, mediation, strategic planning and nonviolent change. Undergraduate students can major in Applied Conflict Management, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. Those pursuing other degrees can minor in Applied Conflict Management, or use CACM courses as electives to enhance their skills in other disciplines.
