Relevant topical areas include development, human resources, and family studies. Students in this track are interested in an array of careers in sectors like environmental science, sociology, urban and regional planning, policy analysis, diplomacy, public and social affairs, international development, humanitarian affairs, post-secondary and international education, communication, and international trade.
