How should Christian approach complex issues of development and justice?
Systematic issues of injustice, poverty, inequality and conflict are increasingly apparent in our world today. How can you make a difference? Redeemer's International Development program focuses on a holistic and sustainable transformation of communities through aid and global development. By considering global issues from the perspectives of history, business, economics, literature, and philosophy give students an interdisciplinary approach to problem-solving, making data-driven arguments and analyzing systems with empathy and creativity.
International Development is a Bachelor of Arts degree program. It is offered as an honours major.
Right from the start, small class sizes allow for meaningful class discussion, lead by professors who are actively researching and experienced practitioners in the field.
First-year courses approach topics of history, politics and international studies in a way that is both broad and deep, giving an overview of the people, organizations and policies that are currently working towards bettering our world.
The Core Curriculum is a set of 10 courses that every student takes. The courses are woven through every major and get you to think deeply and broadly about what you’re studying. Think about it this way…
