Concentrations in International Development
Students in the International Development Program are required to complete a concentration involving a minimum of ten semester credits in a selected specialization area. The majority of the Concentration courses are completed in an independent format. This allows the student’s specialization area to be uniquely tailored to suit his/her needs and professional goals. A concentration area is selected in consultation with the Concentration Advisor during the first two years of study. Once a topic has been decided, a Concentration Mentor is assigned who, together with the Concentration Advisor, guides the student through the concentration requirements. IDP Admission Requirements
