INTRODUCTION Conflict Resolution Studies (CRS) seeks to understand the nature and dynamics of human conflict, and to look at appropriate alternatives for dealing with conflict in ways which develop healthy relationships and prevent violence. Conflicts are analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective together with topics such as violence, power, justice, peace, communication, culture, war, conflict transformation and dispute resolution. CRS prepares students to understand and interact constructively in response to personal, local and global conflict situations. Conflict Resolution Studies is one of the two majors offered through Menno Simons College (MSC), an affiliated college of the University of Winnipeg. There is flexibility in this program to allow for double majors. All MSC students register as University of Winnipeg students. Students choosing to major in CRS should consider the following points: 1. The 3-year CRS BA is designed for students who have an interest in Conflict Resolution Studies, with a particular focus on the interpersonal, Restorative Justice, Nonviolence, or Conflict, Poverty and Development. 2. The 4-year CRS BA is designed for students who plan to pursue professional work or graduate studies in the field of conflict resolution. 3. The CRS minor is designed for students pursuing a degree within another discipline, who have an interest in the intersection of Conflict Resolution Studies, Peace Studies and their chosen field.
