Our Mission:
IDCE prepares students to become agents of social change—locally, nationally, and internationally—in an increasingly interconnected world.
IDCE is a community of scholars and practitioners dedicated to environmental sustainability, social justice, and economic well-being. We focus on major forces of social change: grass roots initiatives, social movements, government policy, market approaches, entrepreneurship, technological innovation, individual action, and education.
Our Department:
The IDCE Department offers four distinct, yet interlinked master's degree programs:
• International Development and Social Change (IDSC)
• Environmental Science and Policy (ES&P)
• Community Development and Planning (CDP)
• Geographic Information Science for Development and Environment (GISDE)
The IDCE Department offers two undergraduate degree programs:
• International Development and Social Change (IDSC)
• Environmental Science and Policy (ES&P)
Each program offers flexibility so students can take classes across programs. IDCE also maintains vibrant links with other educational departments at Clark University, including the School of Geography and the Graduate School of Management.
Our Students:
Our student body is diverse (40% are international students) and represents a very wide range backgrounds, skills, cultures, and interests. IDCE students are given the tools and understanding necessary to be successful professionals in a globalized world and to function effectively in a wide variety of settings.
Our graduates are effective professionals who can work with activists, civil society organizations, government policy makers, business people, academics, scientists, technical experts, as well as ordinary people. IDCE alumni are the decision makers in environmental, development, and social service agencies, consultancies, businesses, and non-profits in the U.S. and abroad. Other graduates pursue Ph.D., law degrees, and prestigious fellowships.
