Professional Seminars

SMU's Dispute Resolution program offers a seminar series for professionals interested in refining their conflict management skills without the commitment of a full certification program. These two- to six-day seminars are available for noncredit or credit and target very specific issues in the fields of conflict resolution and negotiation. In addition, customized programs can be designed for corporations interested in providing in-house training for their employees.  

If you would like to take any regular graduate class offered by the Center for Dispute Resolution for non-credit, including the regular 10-week classes, please call 972-473-3435 for information and registration procedures.  The cost for each class taken on a non-credit basis is $1462.00.
