Eastern Mennonite University

Graduate Program Courses

CJP attempts to be sensitive to the religious commitments of all students. For students who have conflicts with dates/times of conflict transformation classes because of religious commitments, please let administration know immediately. Accommodation will be attempted when possible. PLEASE NOTE: Conflict transformation class times will be adjusted to accommodate persons attending Friday prayers!

The following lists only include conflict transformation courses. There are appropriate elective courses and required concentration courses in other graduate programs at Eastern Mennonite University. See the CJP registrar for complete listings.
