      PhD Programs in Development Studies

      Development studies often aim to prepare students to perform a deep investigation of the developing world. To this end, an academic program in this discipline might engage with any number of issues facing developing economies and societies.

      An African educational adventure can be exciting since the continent's rich traditional heritage is so vital to the culture.

That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
