Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration International Development Studies McGill University

As employers continue to adjust to a global economy, graduates must be able to think and work across cultural and social contexts and adapt to the fast paced world around them. A McGill B.A. degree encourages flexibility, independence and knowledge in a diversity of disciplines. It is incredibly customizable, allowing student to design their own program of study. Our graduates are valued in a wide range of fields for their ability to think critically, communicate effectively (often in several languages) and find creative solutions. Many graduates enter directly into careers. Others pursue post-graduate degrees in both traditional and interdisciplinary fields. Still others pursue professional degrees in fields such as business, law and medicine.

Over the course of three years (U1, U2 and U3), students will complete a 90-credit degree. For students from high schools outside Quebec, a 30-credit freshman year (called U0) will be added at the start of your studies (making this a four-year, 120-credit degree).
