ICED Weekend Format


International Programs Brochure

ICED introduced a weekend format designed to respond to the needs of staff in U.S.-based international NGOs, and the ongoing needs of international students.

  • Program summary: 39-credit, semester-based, 20-month program; a shorter option is available.
  • Schedule: Courses are offered in a weekend format and a limited number of summer and online courses are available which allows for faster program completion.
  • Program Practicum: Participants are required to plan and implement a CED project in their communities as part of the program. Typically, the project is linked to their area of specialization and employment.
  • Specializations: ICED students are eligible to pursue CED specializations in microenterprise development.
