Interdisciplinary Minor
Director Zachary T. Smith Associate Professor of Economics Sylvain H. Boko
The minor in international development and policy emphasizes the study of the major contending theories and approaches to international development and their relationship to development-related policies in both rich and poor nations. The minor enables students to acquire critical skills of evaluation of the decisions and actions of the major multilateral institutions and their impacts on developing countries policy choices. Students interested in understanding world issues such as poverty, debt, the environment, women in development, hunger, and conflict stand to benefit from this minor. The minor consists of fifteen credits. The required courses are IDP 150, ECN 201, ECN 258, and ECN 271, yielding nine credits. The remaining six credits are received from an approved list of elective courses. |
