Attend this information session (in-person or on Zoom) to learn about Minnesota Studies in International Development programs in Senegal, Ecuador, and Thailand! These programs expose students to the social and economic realities of actual communities and of people working within them to address complex problems. Through classes, field trips, and an extended internship or research placement, MSID strives to establish a continual dialogue linking experience with theory and critical analysis. 

Program subject areas include public health, sustainable development, social justice, arts, globalization, and human rights advocacy. Program in Senegal requires 4 semesters of college-level French (or equivalent through placement test) and Ecuador requires 4 semesters of college-level Spanish (or equivalent through placement test). Language is not required for the program in Thailand.
