WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - From the Bolivia to Zambia, this year 24 international students came to study at the Center for Development Economics (CDE) at Williams College in Williamstown, Mass. At the college's June Commencement, they were awarded master's of arts degrees in development.
The program, which began in 1960, provides students with a thorough understanding of the development process, emphasizing analytical techniques helpful to policymakers. The result is an effective mix of theory and policy application that enables students to be more objective in their home environment.
