SIPA: School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University

Conflict Resolution and Development

Back to Curriculum

The Conflict Resolution and Development Focus will allow students to center their EPD coursework on assessing, managing and resolving international conflicts in developing countries.  Students interested in conflict resolution and development may want to view resources and courses offered through the International Conflict Resolution Program (ICRP) at SIPA.

The courses listed below are pre-approved (in other words they are courses that students have taken in the past to meet the professional focus requirement). Keep in mind that not all of these courses are offered each year, nor is this an exhaustive list. Therefore, consult the appropriate course bulletins/Registration Guide for up-to-date information.  Remember that you are encouraged to take advantage of courses at Columbia’s other graduate schools. Go to their website to find out about relevant courses.
