Bachelor of Arts in Development Studies (BDevS) is a four-year, eight-semester professional course offered. Development is a complex and time taking process. It demands the efficient utilization of available human, material and financial resources. The program mission is thus based on the premise that “the ultimate goal of sectoral efforts is development for improving the standard of living and quality of life of the people.”
The basic feature of the course is its interdisciplinary framework, which incorporates the concepts and approaches from interrelated disciplines via concepts and theories of development, economics, community development, project management, resource management, environmental management, good governance, conflict management and others. These disciplines have practical bearing on understanding and implementing development process both at micro and macro levels. Providing knowledge and skills from such interdisciplinary subjects is fundamental for producing skilled and professional human capital catering the needs of the country. This academic program's goal is to develop such a human capital, which can deliver the development works effectively and efficiently.
