The Payson Center offers an undergraduate coordinate major in International Development which is paired with a separate major in a traditional discipline. This traditional discipline is the primary major which determines whether a student earns a B.A. or a B.S. degree. The coordinate major in International Development (ID) provides students with an education firmly rooted in the liberal arts tradition, while also providing them with a focused and international framework for analysis of current international events. A student in the ID program will graduate with a sophisticated understanding of contemporary global issues, especially as they pertain to the developing world.
This coordinate major program in ID is designed to complement other majors while drawing upon international courses in the social sciences, arts and humanities. The program is designed around the convergence of the traditional social sciences and ID thought and practice. The coordinate major program will cater to those students whose general interests are international and interdisciplinary.
