Graduates from the Conflict Analysis and Resolution program embark on a variety of exciting professional paths both domestically and internationally. Whether joining established fields or blazing their own trail creating new non-governmental organizations and consultancies in emerging sectors, Carter graduates are working every day to create a more peaceful and just global society.
