This interdisciplinary minor, administered by the Departments of Communication Arts and Sciences and Labor Studies and Employment Relations, provides students with the opportunity to learn about, and develop skills appropriate to, the management and resolution of problems created by differences in attitudes, beliefs, values, and behavioral preferences of individuals primarily in interpersonal, group, and organizational contexts, and, to a lesser extent, international contexts. The minor is supportive of, and complementary to, work emphasizing conflict and means for dealing with it in such majors as Administration of Justice, Human Development and Family Studies, Labor and Employment Relations, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, and Communication Arts and Sciences.
