Community Development Minor

The Minor in Community Development is designed to introduce students to community development theory, to analytic and research skills pertinent to the field, and to the role of organizations and critical issues in community development.


Note: Only one course from the list of classes below can overlap with your major. All minor classes must be taken for the letter grade. If you elect more than one minor, these minors cannot have any courses in common.
