Development Practice (MDP): Indigenous Development
The Master’s in Development Practice (MDP): Indigenous Development teaches the skills required to be a successful practitioner of sustainable development in Canada and abroad. Indigenous knowledge and experience are at the core of the innovative curriculum that cuts across health, management, natural and social sciences.
This unique interdisciplinary program – housed in the University’s Global College – is eminently practical. Problem-solving, case studies, group projects, and critical self-reflection are emphasized and in-class assignments are designed to build the skills needed to be an effective development practitioner. With two three-month field placements, students have the opportunity to put their learning into practice, gain important development experience, and establish important connections with organizations engaged in Indigenous development in Canada and around the world.
Students in the program complete several required courses and two field placements; they choose additional coursework from a list of approved electives or opt to complete a major research project. The expected time to graduate is 24 months (full-time) or 48 months (part-time).
