Conflict Resolution Certificate

Utah's Most Comprehensive Mediation Training Program

Since 1990, the Conflict Resolution Graduate Certificate Program at the University of Utah has been training students in the skill sets of conflict resolution.It is the oldest training program in higher education in Utah, and the only graduate level program available in Utah to individuals outside of law school. It offers more than double the training hours of any other program in the state.

The class is taught by a professional lawyer, mediator and educator, with other master mediators in the state as guest lecturers.

The class size is limited in order for each student to have the maximum level of interactive learning and skills practice. More than half of each class session is taken up in skill work.
