Masters of Arts in International Development 

This is a rigorous two-year program requiring 30 units of study, plus the development of a community-level project to the point of implantation, with a detailed Project Report in lieu of a thesis. This is often described as a Major Applied Research Project or MARP. The subject areas to be studied are fully covered in the Syllabus for this program. The program is given only in facilitated cohort groups of approximately ten people. Those interested in this possibility should correspond with the Administration about the formation of a cohort in their locality.
