“I chose the Bachelor of Global and International Studies (BGInS) program to broaden my perspective surrounding issues of inequality and poverty on a global scale. Through my specialization in Global Development, I have gained interdisciplinary knowledge that helped me think critically about how to approach such issues and actively approach my role as a global citizen. I have seen what I have learned in class come to life through my IER. Being surrounded by a group of globally-minded academics has challenged me, inspired me, and allowed me to build life-long relationships.<\/span>“

According to the executive summary of the \u201cWhite Paper\u201d on International Development Studies in Canada published by the Canadian Association for the Study of International Development (CASID) and the North-South Institute in October 2003, \u201cthe study of development provides a window on the world of inequality and the possibilities of overcoming it both internationally and domestically.\u201d At Carleton, students pursuing the Specialization in Global Development will gain a multidisciplinary perspective on this broad and important field by taking foundational courses in anthropology, economics, geography, and political science. The program\u2019s core courses, together with a rich selection of electives, will help students understand the way the world is unfolding in the face of increasingly urgent challenges, from climate change to human security to global epidemics. This Specialization will be of particular interest to students who aspire to work on development issues in various government departments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and certain types of companies operating internationally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
