Overview

The Rural and Community Studies Program (RCSP) provides students with the opportunity to design an individually tailored degree that combines courses in rural and community studies with courses from traditional disciplines (e.g. Sociology and Geography). The purpose of this program is to provide students with a better understanding of the social, economic, and environmental issues facing rural regions, and in doing so, provide the skill base to assist those in rural regions to prepare for and adapt to such issues. Relationships with the graduate program in Rural Development and opportunities within the Rural Development Institute allow students to gain practical experience through research work. Prior to entering the program, students must consult with the Co-ordinator, who will assist them in working out a plan of study that meets the university requirements as well as their own needs and interests. The Master in Rural Development (MRD) degree provides students with the following: Knowledge of current development theory The ability to apply knowledge to their selected area of interest Skills in understanding and participating in rural governance Technical skills in research design and reporting Basic training in community relations, networking, group facilitation and development planning An understanding of the formulation and role of policy in rural development Knowledge of the structure and functioning of rural society
