Dedicated to contributing to “change for good” in our home communities and in collaboration with international partners(Chambers 1997, Whose Reality Counts?), the International Development MA Program (IDMA) is committed to advancing the leadership of Deaf, DeafBlind, Hard of Hearing, Deaf-plus, and signing professionals in the development field.
As the world’s only International Development program that trains professionals for deaf development and disability inclusive development, the IDMA Program prepares students to advocate, design, implement, monitor and evaluate social change activities in collaboration with Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard-of-Hearing people, and people with disabilities, at local, national and international levels. IDMA coursework provides practical experience examining legal and social policy frameworks, political and economic conditions, sociocultural and language-centered values and rights, and other features of contemporary life that contribute to or impede social participation and social justice.
