If you're interested in making a real difference in people's lives, Community Development might be just the thing for you. This field is about enhancing the well-being of individuals and communities by addressing various social, economic, and environmental challenges.
During a Community Development degree program, you'll explore topics like sociology, anthropology, urban planning, economics, and policy analysis.
A degree in Community Development can lead to some truly rewarding career opportunities in both public and private sectors. Imagine working with government agencies, non-profits, or businesses to create and evaluate community development programs. Or, collaborate with architects, engineers, and policymakers to shape land-use plans and zoning regulations for sustainable growth.
With a degree in Community Development, you'll be more than ready to tackle complex social, economic, and environmental issues.
Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
