UNBC's cutting-edge Master's program in International Studies explores two critical contemporary challenges: Global Development and Environmental Sustainability. This interdisciplinary program combines courses from 11 graduate disciplines and is co-administered by the Economics Department and Global & International Studies Department.
The curriculum investigates global development - encompassing impacts on communities, regions, and nations across the Global South and northern territories like the Arctic - through diverse lenses. These include viewpoints from international organizations and grassroots movements, examining both conventional and alternative development theories. The program critically assesses environmental crises and mitigation strategies while exploring the dynamic relationship between development and ecology across local and global contexts.
All students enroll in a structured course-based track designed for completion within a two-year timeframe.
