Sports Conflict Management Certificate
Overview
The objective of the Sports Conflict Management Certificate is to help recipients recognize fundamental theories, explore and apply vital conflict resolution skills, and build a greater understanding of how to understand, prevent, and resolve conflict in the competitive sports arena.
The Conflict Resolution Master’s Program (CRES) at the University of Oregon School of law is the first graduate program in the nation to offer courses that focus on understanding, preventing, and resolving conflict in sports through the partnership with Competition Not Conflict (CNC). The unique partnership between CRES and CNC provide a specialized educational experience that UO undergraduates and community members can experience.
