Join the authors of:
USIP Special Report: Graduate Education and Professional Practice in International Peace and Conflict
for a presentation and extended discussion on graduate education in Conflict Resolution and Peacebuilding.
How Does Graduate Education relate to Professional Practice?
What skills, knowledge and experience are being asked for in Professional Practice?
"Graduate-level academic institutions are not adequately preparing students for careeres in international peace and conflict management. Curricula need to incorporate more applied skills, cross-sectoral coursework, and field-experience opportunities."
"Unlike most faculty, students, and alumni, employers see substantial room for improvement in preparing students for the field."
"Overseas experience is, for employers, the most valuable asset."
