CJP offers an MA or Graduate Certificate in Conflict Transformation or Restorative Justice and an MA in Transformational Leadership. The graduate programs are designed to accommodate busy practitioners by offering full- and limited-residency formats. The 15 or 18-credit Graduate Certificates offer students the opportunity to focus on specific areas of personal interest within the graduate degree curriculum. Graduate certificates are useful for adding new skills and knowledge to other professional disciplines. Or they may be used to test the waters before enrolling in a degree program. All courses taken for a certificate can be transferred into one of the degree programs.

The Summer Peacebuilding Institute is the interface between applied research, field work, and academic work. SPI provides specialized, intensive courses that are of specific benefit for practitioners working in situations of protracted conflict. The courses may be taken for academic credit or for professional training. SPI attracts between 150-200 participants from more than 40 different countries each year. EMU hosts SPI participants for six weeks in May and June of each year, during which time 15-20 courses are offered. Many MA and Graduate Certificate students enroll in SPI classes, particularly those students who are pursuing a degree in a limited-residency format. SPI is designed to minimize the need for students to be away from their job and community for long periods of time. See http://www.emu.edu/cjp/spi/ for more information. In 2020, in response to the pandemic, SPI moved online in 2020 and again in 2021. Online 2021 and we developed online training only courses were offered in February and March 2021. In the future, we plan to return to on-campus courses in 2022 while continuing to offer during mid-winter 2021 and 2022. SPI returned to meeting on campus for SPI 2022 and we plan to continue offering online courses at other times during the year.
