International Development and Social Change
The International Development and Social Change major is offered through the Department of International Development, Community and Environment. IDCE stresses an interdisciplinary approach linking geography, anthropology, the environmental sciences, economics, government and history. The international development and social change major allows students to develop a foundation for understanding and thinking critically about the social, political, economic and cultural dynamics that shape the world. Students explore strategic political action by developing an awareness of the complexities and contradictions of global power relations.
