M.A. in Development Studies The people you serve are too important for you to spend your time addressing surface-level issues. Our M.A. in Development Studies teaches students to think critically and develop practical plans to solve the root cause of an issue and create sustainable change. explore the program What Makes WCIU So Different? We use a systems approach to understanding development work Many development workers feel ill-equipped to handle problems they encounter in their communities. This is because the solutions to these problems are not simple or surface-level. These problems are historically, culturally, and theologically intertwined and complex. A systems approach takes all the factors into account to solve the root causes of an issue. This results in lasting solutions that truly help people and communities develop. Become a leader who sees the bigger picture and deals with issues down to the root.
