In 1988 it became the first academic institution to grant PhD's in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and rose to the status of Institute, becoming ICAR in 1989.[6] In 2010, after a decade of growth and development, including the introduction of the undergraduate program and graduate certificate programs, it became the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR).[7] In 2020 the school was renamed in dedication to Nobel Peace Prize awarded humanitarian former U.S. president Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn as the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution.[5]
