International Development

The Minor in International Development, administered by the Department of Anthropology, is an enhanced integrative learning program of study designed to assist students in understanding the social context of international development. Students will acquire a basic understanding of how social scientists approach international development and how to integrate different approaches to the interrelationships of topics around international development.

The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs in the College of Social Science or James Madison College. With the approval of the department and college that administer the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.

Students who plan to complete the requirements of the minor should consult an undergraduate advisor in the Department of Anthropology.
