DescriptionThe IDS Program combines lectures, seminars and guided individual research to assist students in acquiring the practical experience and analytical skills necessary to grapple with today's complicated global problems. The IDS Program recognizes a significant number of approved, cross-listed courses in other University departments as creditable to its program of study; these courses are gathered periodically into a List of Approved Courses available from the Program.

International Development Studies is an interdisciplinary degree program. IDS uses social science disciplines (economics, anthropology, sociology and political science, together with the contributions of history, management, geography, philosophy, religious studies and modern languages) to analyze and assess the problems developing countries face as they attempt to improve the living conditions and well- being of their citizens. IDS also analyzes global structures and futures from an interdisciplinary perspective, as human society attempts to come to grips with contemporary socio-economic, political and environmental challenges.
