Students will also be able to pursue graduate work in development studies with this degree background; however, they will be strongly encouraged to secure a full-time, overseas assignment upon graduation. (e.g. Peace Corps or Mennonite Central Committee). This major has no concentrations, but students are strongly advised to take a minor (or Major) with the language department, anthropology, environmental studies, missions, political science or sociology.
