A&M-Texarkana to Offer Alternative Dispute Resolution Certificate Course

Published: January 5, 2017

Texas A&M University-Texarkana, in conjunction with The Center for Legal Studies, will offer an Alternative Dispute Resolution Certificate Course, beginning Jan. 9.

This intensive course is designed to train and qualify students to develop or participate in conflict mediation processes. It focuses on both traditional and non-traditional dispute resolution options.

Alternative dispute resolution (mediation) is geared for all professionals who are focused on interest-based bargaining. This course takes the mystery out of settlement processes and focuses on reaching reasonable solutions.

Topics include “Why Conflicts Escalate, Why Mediation Works,” “The Mediation Process,” “The Role of the Mediator,” “Coming to an Agreement,” “Problems Encountered in Mediation,” “Developing Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs for Government, Business and Personal Disputes” and “Divorce Settlement Mediation.”

Successful graduates of this non-credit course will be awarded a Certificate of Completion from Texas A&M University-Texarkana.
The Alternative Dispute Resolution Certificate Course is offered online, on DVD or in a text-only format.
