The IDS program began as a Minor in 1992. It has grown every year since and today is an undergraduate program which has the third largest enrolment in McGill's Faculty of Arts. The IDS programs are designed for those students who wish to take advantage of the resources available at McGill to pursue an interdisciplinary program of study focusing on the problems of the developing countries.
The IDS program is an initiative sponsored by the Centre for Developing Area Studies (CDAS). Students are encouraged to use the CDAS Documentation Centre (most of its holdings are not included in MUSE) and to participate in activities sponsored by the CDAS and the McGill Institute for the Study of International Development (ISID). The ISID and CDAS is located at 3460 McTavish in Peterson Hall.

Why IDS?
A former IDS student speaks
IDS allowed me to take aspects of politics, history, anthropology, and geography and use them to create a holistic theoretical and practical understanding of the Middle East and South Asia. It may seem that IDS students simply learn a little bit of everything, but the value of our education lies in the fact that we have to learn how to think outside the box; we have to mould together theories from various disciplines and then see how they can be applied to the real world.
An education in IDS has opened all sorts of doors for me: I was hired as an intern at an NGO in Lahore, Pakistan and was accepted to the Masters program at the Institute of Islamic Studies here at McGill. I do not know where I will be in ten years, but I know that my BA Honours in IDS will help me achieve any goals that I set.
