Humber's Bachelor of International Development is an interdisciplinary degree program that provides students with a solid theoretical foundation in international development studies and its related disciplines, as well as with professional and technical skills in development management. The program fosters a comparative understanding of developed and developing countries (economies) through directed study, analytical research and cross-cultural learning experiences. The courses in the program core, where students develop professional competencies, include four streams: international development studies, supplementary disciplines, management skills and research skills.
