Development Studies Option
The Development Studies Option (DSO) is a cross-disciplinary M.A. program designed to provide students with a strong practical and theoretical foundation for engaging in genuinely cross-disciplinary research.

The Institute for the Study of International Development does not admit graduate students independently and cannot answer your inquiries about admission to 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ.
DSO students will complete the regular requirements of their departments for a Masters degree, as well as the additional cross-disciplinary requirements for the DSO. The DSO is a reflection of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ’s long-standing tradition of research and education in international development. Within the six participating departments alone, there are approximately 30 professors and 100 graduate students currently working on development issues - undoubtedly one of the largest concentrations of development scholars and students at any university in Canada. Researchers in these units have well-established international reputations and are recognized by their peers as leaders in their fields.
For more information on the Development Studies Option, please contact the kirsty.mckinnon [at] mcgill.ca (Institute for the Study of International Development) or the Director of Graduate Studies in any of the participating programs.
