Taking the field of conflict resolution to a higher level
The Werner Institute for Negotiation and Dispute Resolution was established in 2005 thanks to a generous
gift from the C.L. Werner family, creating the most richly endowed program of its kind in the
country. The mission of the Werner Institute is to be a leader in advancing the field of conflict
resolution to a new quantum level with a focus on developing the next generation of practitioners
and scholars who are responsive to the real, and often unacknowledged, needs of those in conflict.
With an interdisciplinary foundation and a focus on collaboration and open inquiry, the Institute
supports the mission of Creighton University and builds a bridge between the field of conflict resolution
and the issues faced by people in an increasingly complex world.
The Werner Institute is very pleased to announce the launching of its online Masters Degree in Negotiation &
Dispute Resolution. The program is now accepting students for the first courses beginning in August of 2008. – LEARN MORE!
