Through an approach that is equal parts theoretical and practical, graduate students investigate the root causes of violent conflict and they uncover effective means to prevent conflicts and to promote peaceful coexistence After a full year in residence at the Heller School, students take their knowledge into the field, working with a conflict prevention organization.
