The department offers an interdisciplinary graduate certificate in development studies.Ìý Development Studies is a well-established, interdisciplinary field of research with institutional centers at a number of major universities and several scholarly journals dedicated to its study.Ìý The certificate provides interdisciplinary training in development studies to graduate students through a structured yet flexible program built around courses taught by CU babyÖ±²¥app in a number of social science departments.Ìý Because development issues such as agrarian change, labor migration, new social movements, industrial growth, urban planning, and natural resource use cut across disciplinary divides, the study of development demands interdisciplinary approaches.

Admission Requirements

Currently enrolled graduate students at CU and non-degree seeking ACCESS students with bachelor's degrees may pursue the Development Studies certificate by satisfactorily completing the four required courses.Ìý To satisfactorily complete each course, students must earn a grade of B or higher.

Procedure for Awarding Certificates

The certificate requires the completion of twelve credits, or four courses, at least two of which should be taken in the Department of Geography.Ìý Students may not take more than three of the four required courses in Geography.Ìý Upon completion of the four courses, students should contact the certificate director with a copy of their unofficial CU transcript, requesting the certificate.Ìý The program director will check to ensure that the requirements have been met.ÌýÌý For more information, please contact the certificate director,ÌýJennifer Fluri.
