One of the main reasons many people choose the George Washington University's M.A. in International Development Studies program is the Capstone requirement. The Capstone Project requires students to form small groups to find and contract their services to an organization (private/governmental/non-governmental) for a project in a developing country. Their are projects in most fields, including health, tourism, governance, and aid effectiveness.
This spring many groups will go all over the world to get practical development experience, from the joy of seeing projects coming to fruition to the frustrations that come with it. Some of our groups have already traveled and will share their stories. There may even be stories from previous year students. If you are a current student or an IDS alumnus/a and interested in writing for the blog, write me at macton at gwu dot edu and we'll set you up!
