The IDS program supports students in developing an informed appreciation of their regions of study, including the history behind present-day policies and media headlines. They will learn to analyze the impact of colonialism on the global south, recognize inequalities in wealth and power between nations, and appreciate the various political-institutional, cultural, socio-economic and environmental factors that affect international development. With our outstanding faculty and department resources, students will gain a thorough grounding in the field and grow comfortable conversing in routine institutional discourses with development professionals.
Students choose their regional focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, South Asia, or East Asia. They will also select their area of concentration from: Culture, Diasporas and Migration; Environment, Gender, Political Economy and Politics; or Governance and Policy.
Through our relationship with the Lassonde School of Engineering, engineers can choose a dual Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Arts degree – the only dual degree program of its kind in Canada.
