The Research for Development Graduate Program (RDGP) is a three quarter academic program open to all interdisciplinary graduate students. The goal of the program is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of qualitative research methods and the application of these methods by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for international development endeavors.   

Spring quarter, RGDP students will register for PUBM 593 – Research Methods for Development. PUBM 593 is a project based participatory methods course giving students the opportunity to design a research project.  

Summer quarter, students will register for PUBM 595 – Research for Development Internship. PUBM 595 allows students to implement their research project over a six week period in July and August with a non-governmental organization (NGO) in a developing country.  

Fall quarter, students will register for PUBM 591 – Research Consortium in Special Topics. PUBM 591 will require students to write and present a professional paper on their research project.
