Bachelor of Arts - Centre for Global Studies - Global Development Studies (Blended Delivery)

How Blended Learning Works

Upon completion of the 1st year of study online students will then join their cohort on campus for their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years of study and meet the in person requirements for Canada’s Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP). A valid study permit is required only for on-campus 2nd – 4th years of study, for which a provincial attestation letter (PAL) will be issued by Huron.

Program Description

The degree modules offered in Global Development Studies examine ways in which our world is structured and functions around profound inequalities, particularly in terms of poverty. This stream of studies focuses on how deep material inequalities result in power imbalances and the formation of oppressive social, political, and economic ideas and practices presented as “development.” In learning how to critically analyse these inequalities and to conduct socially responsible research in community contexts, students in these modules will learn to collaborate effectively with grassroots efforts to challenge and overcome these injustices.
