The University of Colorado at Denver’s Graduate School of Public Affairs now
offers its Master of Public Administration degree with a Concentration in Domestic
Violence Program Management and Policy Development through a distance-learning
format.
Reaching out to people across the nation, the Program on Domestic Violence (PDV)
is available through a combination of online courses and five (5) intensive
class sessions in the Denver, Colorado area. Intensives are planned for no more
than a week (4-7 days) per session in order to accommodate even the most demanding
of schedules.
Participants in the Program on Domestic Violence take a mixture of courses designed
to build strong management and policy-making skills. Domestic violence courses
provide an opportunity to develop extensive knowledge of the social, historical
and psychological factors underlying violence against women. Topics include
the impact of violence on children; strategies for intervention, prevention
and change; intersections of violence with race, gender and class; and legal
and policy implications.
The intensive sessions on the Denver campus feature nationally renowned speakers,
conversations with experienced practitioners, and in-depth discussions with
other students. Distinguished guest presenters for the program have included
Jeffrey Edleson, Lydia Walker, Jacquelyn Campbell, Alisa Bierria, Kim Klein,
Elizabeth Schneider, Shamita Das Dasgupta and Lundy Bancroft.
Created for victim advocates, survivors of violence, activists, program managers
and others interested in gaining the skills and knowledge necessary to run effective
service and advocacy organizations, the Program on Domestic Violence is the
first curriculum of its kind in the country.
We are proud to now offer this vital program - integrating grassroots social
justice anti-violence work with strong administrative practice - to a statewide
and national audience.
