This is one of only a handful of distance-based programs in conflict resolution. As part of the Cal State system, the school has good name recognition.
The price really can't be beat. With the low cost of the degree, the financial risk for the program is low, with the potential for high rewards.
The program's distance-based nature is one of its challenges. Since so much of conflict resolution relies on in-person contact, a distance-based program cannot deliver the same type of interaction as an in-person program.
However, for a student that cannot attend an in-person program due to work, family, or location issues, this is the next best option.
