International Development and Social Change Overview
Undergraduate Program
Analyze. Act. Achieve.
According to the International Monetary Fund, approximately 70 percent of all nations are “developing” - characterized by economic vulnerability and high levels of poverty. At Clark, international development and social change (IDSC) majors learn how to bring about positive change by thinking critically, acting collaboratively, and engaging responsibly.
Research and activism are hallmarks of the IDSC experience at Clark, from promoting sustainable development through local action to devising technological solutions to food shortages in developing nations. Our graduates - who have gone on to work for organizations including The World Bank, UNICEF, Care USA, Partners in Health, and the National Democratic Institute - work to create a better world every day.
