International Development Studies can help you start your career in a changing world.
You can choose from three program options: minor, double major and joint honours.
A minor in international development will enhance any degree and any career.
Professionals in many fields work in international development, including community nursing, environmental engineering, small business development and policy analysis.
A minor in international development can help you make the connection between technical assistance and its social and cultural context, or add a global perspective to your studies.
