Colleges that Offer International Dev. as a major?

<p>Hey - as the title says, I'm looking for colleges that offer International Development (or a similar major) as a major. So far, Dartmouth, Columbia, and Brown offer International Development as a major - any other schools?</p>

<p>Grinnell College offers it as a concentration, rather than a major. </p>

<p>[Global</a> Development Studies - Global Development Studies | Grinnell College](<a href=“http://www.grinnell.edu/academic/gds]Global”>Global Development Studies (GDS) | Grinnell College)</p>

<p>At Tufts you can major in international relations with a focus on international or economic development or something on those lines.</p>

<p>Specific majors like that tend to be reserved for masters or PhD programs. Obviously, there are exceptions to the rule which you pointed out.</p>

<p>More commonly, you will find interdisciplinary majors in international relations or international studies. Many of these offer subspecialty tracks. Often, international development is one of those options. These majors and their subspecialty tracks are designated by a confusing variety of different titles at different schools. Also, different schools offer a confusing variety of majors, subspecialty tracks within majors, minors, and certificates in this area. </p>

<p>Some of the available programs are listed below. Again, the specific program titles (for both international relations and the subspecialty tracks) will differ at different schools, so keep this in mind when searching specific schools for programs in this area.</p>

<p>Majors in development studies are offered at Brown, Berkeley. UCLA, Virginia, Tulane (as a coordinate major).</p>

<p>International relations/studies majors with tracks in development are available at Colby, Williams, Tufts, Kenyon, Sewanee, Centre, Yale (Global Affairs), Ohio State, Iowa, BYU, Delaware, MiamiU, and Michigan State. Brown, Michigan, UNC, Rochester, UC-Davis have tracks that combine development and international political economy. Indiana has a track that combines development with global integration.</p>

<p>Smith, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Ohio state offer minors in development studies. </p>

<p>Within professional schools of IR, Georgetown offers a certificate program and U Washington, GWU, and American offer subspecialty tracks.</p>

<p>At public land grant universities, you will find a number of programs in international agriculture/development. Usually, these are based in agricultural economics departments.
At a number of these programs, you will find relevant study abroad programs, too. They are well worth checking out as an alternative to traditional IR & development studies programs. Some schools to check are Cornell, Penn State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virginia Tech, Florida, Ohio State, Purdue, and Maryland.</p>

<p>Tulane offers that major.</p>
