Program Description

The B.A. in Conflict Studies is designed to prepare you to analyze and manage various disputes in a professional manner by demonstrating both objectivity and empathy. No matter what the conflict situation, whether it is local, national, or international, you will be equipped to resolve disputes.

In order to do so, you will examine the origins and dynamics that underlie conflicts while taking into consideration their political, psychological, and social dimensions. With the help of case studies, practical exercises, and lectures, you will deepen and apply methods that serve to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts. You will learn how to use various active listening techniques and several negotiations and mediation tools. To do this, you will explore a wide range of non-violent, humanitarian, and diplomatic solutions to conflicts, as well as actions that promote peace, social justice, and reconciliation.

By the end of the program, you will know how to act as a neutral third party while being able to propose conflict resolution strategies and comprehensive response plans.

About the School

Human. Open. Engaged. Spiritual.

Saint Paul University was the first post-secondary institution in Ottawa. More than a university specializing in the human and social sciences, SPU is a community.

Our goal: guiding transformation together to build a more humane and more just society on a global scale.

Located in the heart of the nation’s capital, Saint Paul University (est. 1848) is the founding college of the University of Ottawa, with which it has been federated since 1965. A bilingual institution, it offers undergraduate and graduate study programs.

Proud of its rich heritage, over the years Saint Paul University (SPU) has evolved into an institution whose primary focus is on the multiple facets of the human experience. Not surprisingly, that priority is reflected in our current study programs: in addition to our founding disciplines— canon law, philosophy , and theology —we offer courses in social communication, social innovation, transformative leadership, counseling and psychotherapy, public ethics, conflict studies, and human relations and spirituality.

Besides its academic programs, SPU offers a number of complementary services, including support and guidance to help students succeed academically and personally; access to symposiums, conferences, and workshops with distinguished specialists in the areas of issues facing today’s society; a student residence; and a library with an outstanding collection of documents and books on a range of specialized subjects.

SPU is known for its small class sizes, personalized service, diverse student population and international vision, solid reputation, rich history, and Catholic intellectual tradition.

The Saint Paul Experience

Different. And proud of it.

Green space

Located in the heart of Ottawa, a stone’s throw from the Rideau River and the Rideau Canal, SPU is surrounded by greenery and small eco-friendly businesses. Our smoke-free campus is also home to a community garden and an organic café.

Human scale

Our approach is human-centered. We offer interactive teaching as well as access to professors and support staff that is second to none. The idea is to create a personalized university experience that fosters success.

Bilingualism and diversity

SPU offers programs and services in English and French, and approximately 25% of students are from abroad. Everyone can therefore study in the official language of their choice and broaden their cultural horizons.

Added value

Our concern for social justice, combined with our intellectual tradition, guides our thinking about the human condition and our plan for social transformation.
