About the course

The IDS Community Development program is a broadly interdisciplinary major drawing courses and faculty from twelve departments within six schools and colleges. Our degree program is proposed as a field of study within the College of Arts and Sciences and as such would embrace several disciplines in the college and adhere to the college general education curriculum. Our program is comprised by a set of courses that ground theory in practice, emphasize teamwork, utilize the scholar-practitioner model, and forges partnerships with government, industry, corporations, non-profit organizations and community organizations to provide students with hands on experience. We have systematically linked existing courses at the University as well as developed new courses in order to coordinate and administer a coherent, well-integrated and independent degree program in community development. The community development degree program at Howard University will have an urban emphasis and will concern itself with urban communities at the neighborhood, city, state, and global levels. The program is focused on issues related to urban policy, nonprofit management and finance, community economic development, community planning, health, social welfare, and education. Communities and organizations in the Washington, DC area will serve as the learning laboratory. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
