Cornell Global Development

The Department of Global Development at Cornell University is a unified development studies program dedicated to robust engagement with the world’s grand challenges at home and abroad. We confront the world's greatest challenges facing people and the planet through our three signature strengths: wellbeing and inclusion; environmental sustainability; and food and nutritional security. With a focus on education with impact, our broad interdisciplinary outlook emphasizes real-world engagement with communities in New York state and 30+ countries around the globe to improve lives, reduce inequality and protect the environment.
