The Online Master's in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution
Help resolve conflict and create positive outcomes with the online Master's Degree in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution from Creighton University. Mediation is one of the fastest-growing fields in the world as individuals, organizations, and governments increasingly turn to negotiation to settle their differences. Appropriate dispute resolution and effective negotiation techniques are rapidly being recognized as a vital component of successful organizations and businesses in nearly every field, including law, labor, the health care industry, government, politics, and education.
Creighton's online master's in Negotiation and Dispute Resolution is an interdisciplinary degree offered through the Werner Institute for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution at the Creighton University School of Law. The Institute is dedicated to advancing the field of conflict resolution to a new level by developing innovative approaches that reduce the costs of conflict and helping to train the next generation of practitioners and scholars in this area.
The program offers these specializations:
Healthcare Collaboration and Conflict Resolution:
Learn to rectify breakdowns in communication and teamwork that can lead to injury during medical treatment. The curriculum focuses on vital areas unique to the healthcare field, such as healthcare policy and law, patient safety, and bioethics.
The Many Faces of Negotiation and Dispute Resolution
Conflict, both big and small, is a fact of life. Organizations continue to recognize the value of negotiation and conflict resolution in place of more time-consuming and expensive processes to work out differences. A master's in this growing discipline can be applied to a number of professions and fields.
- Health care professionals may need to become advocates for their patients, act as go-betweens for patients and insurers, provide guidance on delicate life-and-death issues, and deal with people in highly emotional states--so individuals with top-notch communication and negotiation skills are in high demand. Conflict resolution and management among health care workers as well as with patients is particularly crucial, as disruptive, intimidating, or passive-aggressive behavior can adversely affect the quality of care. Creighton University's online master's in NDR is the only one of its kind to offer a specialization in health care.
Online Master's in Health Care Ethics
The Master of Science in Health Care Ethics is an interdisciplinary degree offered entirely online through the Center for Health Policy and Ethics (CHPE) at Creighton University. This unique program is designed for students who desire a comprehensive understanding of the field of bioethics and who are seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of relevant historical, cultural, philosophical, political, economic and legal issues in health care practices and policies, and their impact on vulnerable populations.
