Earning a certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in addition to your MDR degree gives you a thorough grounding in ADR processes and hands-on experience in managing conflicts between parties. It also offers you a credential that demonstrates your specialized training in this growing field.
Students are limited to pursuing one certificate with their degree.
To earn the certificate, you must take at least 12 units of mandatory and elective courses as outlined below. The two mandatory courses are only offered in the fall semester.
The ADR courses emphasize the importance of acquiring both strong legal skills and familiarity with business concepts. The curriculum features a combination of lecture-style and skill-based courses that are taught in a workshop format.
Not all courses are offered every year. Courses are open to all students, not just those pursuing a certificate. You must earn a cumulative grade point average of 2.6 in your certificate coursework to earn the ADR certificate.
