MSID Senegal: General Syllabus & Schedule




COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
The first two courses, Country Analysis and International Development: Critical Perspective on Theory and Practice, are
mandatory. To satisfactorily complete their academic activities in the MSID program, students are required to attend and
participate in classes and also to complete and submit all assignments and activities prescribed by instructors on time.

Students are required to enroll for only one track. They may audit others as they please. They should, however, specify
their status (“enrolled” or “auditing”) to the instructors involved and to the Academic Program Director. The following
tracks are offered:
• Education and Literacy
• Environmental Studies, Ecology and Sustainable Agriculture
• Public Health and Social Services
• Cultural Studies and Development
• Microbusiness and Alternative Economics

Details on your language course (Wolof) will be given by M. Sidy Guèye. This course is mandatory. French (15 hours) and
Research Methodology (15 hours) are mandatory complementary courses. French is part of the Country Analysis course.

The course entitled Community Internship in the Global South is actually your internship. It will be graded based on your
performance while on site, the report from your supervisor and your internship oral presentation and written report at the
final integrating seminar at the end of the program.
