Curriculum

MwB 600 Certified Mediator Course

The Core Mediation course provides the core skill sets necessary to begin a new career as a mediator and help disputants take charge of their own destiny. The course presents an overview of the mediation process, including the application of negotiation techniques, the critical issue of timing, the usage of caucuses, as well as other tools to deal with impasses in the process. Students will also become adept at communication by learning essential communication skills, such as reflective listening and the handling of critical moments in mediation.

MwB 670 Internship and Career Development Program
The internship experience is considered one of the most important professional activities in which students engage during a career studies program. Internship students are given opportunities to synthesize and apply knowledge gained in their course of study and other academic pursuits. Through the sharing of experiences in both group and individual supervision, students may refine previously learned skills and acquire new skills.

The MwB internship is designed to facilitate refinement of mediation and dispute resolution skills learned in MwB coursework and to facilitate the development of new skills. Through consultation and one-to-one and group conflict resolution experiences, the student can expand his or her repertoire of ADR techniques and interpersonal communication skills.
Through the utilization of the MwB online technologies, students will be given an opportunity to experience direct and specific feedback from faculty through the use of video and audio recording and group case management presentations.
