Here’s a little more information about Kansas State University’s new online master’s degree program in community development.

A student enrolled in this new program will find that the course work includes many  perspectives and the latest materials from the field of community development. Along with interaction with faculty, students will take required courses in principles and strategies of community change, organizing for community change, community analysis, community and regional economic analysis, and community and natural resource management.

After those courses, a student will be able to chose elective courses from among several tracks, which currently include working with native communities, building economic capacity and natural resource management. As the demand for the program builds over time, more elective tracks will be added to the program.

You’ll get your master’s degree after completion of 36 credits, which include either a thesis project or a non-thesis — course only — option.

K-State got together on this with five other participating universities — Iowa State University, North Dakota State University, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska and South Dakota State University.

At K-State, the program will be administered through the graduate program in regional and community planning, offered through the department of landscape architecture and regional and community planning in K-State’s College of Architecture, Planning and Design.
