The International Development major is designed for students who want to pursue a versatile program of study focusing on the problems of developing countries. There are several concentrations to match diverse interests. If you would like to work in economic development within the public sector or nonprofit organizations, you should concentrate on Public Policy or Education. These areas involve international agencies or institutions, and global and local governments. Environmental Issues, on the other hand, relates to stewardship of the natural environment and how to lead economic development responsibly and sustainably.
