International Development Studies Concentration
Students interested in this concentration are concerned with administrative and policy issues in developing countries. CIPA fellows in the International Development Studies concentration explore a broad range of disciplinary perspectives such as anthropology, economics, regional planning, biotechnology and legal studies. This concentration helps students understand the broad context in which international development decisions are made.
In addition to the nine foundation courses, CIPA fellows who select the International Development Studies concentration take a minimum of five courses related to their specific area of focus. The course list below, organized thematically to facilitate course selection, is designed to help fellows develop a particular area of study, but should not limit choices. CIPA fellows may elect to substitute other relevant courses, by petition, with the approval of their advisor.
