A Few Reminders NEGOTIATION & CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROGRAM
Degree Requirements In order to receive the master's degree in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, students must complete all requirements of the degree within three years (six terms, excluding summer) with an overall grade point average of 3.0 (B) or better. The 36-point program is composed of eight 3-point courses and three 4point seminars. The three core courses must be taken first. Five electives are required and may be taken in any order. Students must select at least three electives from the intermediate core courses. Up to two approved electives may be chosen from the course offerings in other schools or departments of the University. Students may take additional electives beyond those required in order to deepen their study of a particular area. Not all courses are offered every semester. Three master's project seminars (12 points total) are required. Important note: The capstone project requires that you attend an orientation and begin your thesis work a semester before you enroll in the seminars. Please plan accordingly.
Cross-Registration Registering for classes outside of your program is a notoriously difficult process. Permission depends on the course, the school that offers it, and your academic status within the School of Continuing Education, as well as your background and what you might bring to the course. However, the basic procedure is as follows: You need to fill out an add/drop form (available online: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/registrar/pdfs/adddrop.pdf), obtain a signature of permission from the instructor or department to enroll in the course, and then submit it to the Registrar in 205 Kent Hall. You will need to contact the instructor or a program coordinator to determine how to proceed. In some cases, you should plan on attending the first few sessions of the class to request permission in person.
