Community Development focuses on developing fundamental skills and methodologies that will allow an individual to work face-to-face with communities and improve conditions for others.

This program aims to assist students to improve their communication and leadership skills and learn how to work effectively in group and multi-stakeholder settings. Students will learn how to work collaboratively within government, political, and economic systems and policies. A standard one term course typically counts for three hours and the overall degree requires 120 hours or 40 courses over four years. However, some courses are offered in alternative formats, including activity labs that are 1.5 hours.
