Heller's Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution and Coexistence (COEX) Program prepares students to become skilled peacebuilding professionals. Since conflict manifests in diverse ways, developing the capacity to navigate disputes, find resolutions, and identify constructive solutions has never been more essential. Through this program, you'll acquire both the analytical frameworks and practical skills necessary to grasp the nuanced dynamics of conflict transformation, enabling you to facilitate reconciliation among individuals, groups, communities, and nations.
Our COEX master's curriculum provides comprehensive training in modern conflict prevention theories while equipping students with professional competencies to develop and execute effective intervention strategies.
The 56-credit program structure consists of one academic year of on-campus study (32 credits), followed by six months of field experience (12 credits) culminating in either an internship report, research paper, or thesis (12 credits). This carefully designed progression helps students cultivate skills for promoting collaboration across divided communities and nations. The program's interdisciplinary methodology integrates insights from social psychology, global affairs, sociology, legal studies, anthropology, and cultural analysis.

Qualification Requirements
A bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution in the United States or a comparable degree from a foreign academic institution is required.
Applicants to the MA COEX program must submit three letters of recommendation. One should be a professional assessment from a supervisor at the institution at which you are employed or were recently employed. The second letter should be an academic assessment from a former professor or advisor.
We do not set a minimum required score for either test, but rather, our admissions committees take a holistic approach to reviewing applications and considers every part of the application carefully. That being said, the majority of our successful applicants tend to have a score of at least 94 on the TOEFL, a 7.0 on the IELTS, or a 115 on the Duolingo English Test.
