A wide range of development field placement and internship possibilities are available through the MSID program.
Development is an extremely broad term which has many different meanings and connotations.
MSID does not wish to define what development is or is not. The MSID field placement takes place during the last portion of fall semester and consists of work within an agency or development project. For students planning to continue beyond fall, the field placement is the first portion of an internship. Participating solely in the field placement will not give you the same in-depth experience as an internship. Field placement provides a work setting in which you can observe and analyze cultural, organizational and development issues.
