M.S. In Negotiation and Conflict Resolution Online Program Info Session & Demonstration Class

Columbia University’s Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution prepares students to analyze the root causes and dynamics of conflict and to transform disputes through reasoned and resourceful interventions. Flexible program options meet the needs of young and mid-career professionals as well as career-changing professionals.

Join Dr. Peter Dixon, Program Director, for this online information session to learn more about the program's curriculum, flexible enrollment options, and career impacts. Particular attention will be focused on our Online with Residency pathway which is open to applications for Spring 2027 admission.

NECR faculty member Susan Levin will also join and lead a demonstration class on the topic of "Neuroscience of Change and Conflict”. Human brains are hardwired to resist change. The evolution of neuroscience has revealed this, leading to many fascinating insights into the biological and neurological causes of human behavior and the dynamics that can cause change and lead to conflict. Therefore, part of the course is focused on the nexus of neuroscience, change and conflict and how our biology affects our ability to adapt and resolve disputes.

This demonstration class will offer prospective students a closer look at program content and how a virtual class session would be conducted.
