Certificate in International Development
About the Certificate in International Development
"Helping to promote human development is one of the most important functions for Universities in this new century....I'd argue it's also our most important moral responsibility" President John DeGioia,
The Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service offers a Certificate in International Development for undergraduate students. It is designed to help students to think critically about development as an urgent global challenge and as a contested theoretical field. Faculty - scholars and practitioners - from a wide range of disciplines and perspectives will help students to better understand global crises, such as extreme poverty in its many dimensions. Teaching in the classroom provides understanding of the theoretical foundations of approaches to development and their outcomes. In addition, opportunities for practical experience in the developing world will help students better understand the challenges and rewards of international development.
