This minor is part of the Marine Affairs department, and thus ocean and coastal issues are important components of the program. However, students from all majors are welcome to participate in the URI minor in International Development or take individual courses.  It also aligns with some of the requirements of the Peace Corps Prep Program. <\/p>\n<p>Students interested in pursuing careers in and outside the US in the broad field of international development including governmental and non-governmental organizations, international agencies, or further their studies of international affairs and global problems are especially encouraged to pursue this minor. <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cl-button  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/maf\/academics\/international-development-minor\/\" title=\"\">Learn more<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.peacecorps.gov\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1996\/Peace_Corps_Logo_Banner_CMYK.png\" alt=\"Peace Corps Logo with dove graphic and organization name\" class=\"wp-image-641\" width=\"250\" height=\"46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/peacecorpsprep\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1996\/Peace_Corps_Logo_Banner_CMYK.png 500w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/peacecorpsprep\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1996\/Peace_Corps_Logo_Banner_CMYK-300x55.png 300w, https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/peacecorpsprep\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1996\/Peace_Corps_Logo_Banner_CMYK-364x67.png 364w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview To help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women.
