Abstract:
This is a comparative study of the different Development Studies
programs in the Philippines. It was instituted to respond to the
socioeconomic needs of the country by developing workers who are
skilled in the theoretical and practical skills necessary for development
work. The University of the Philippines, Manila; University of the
Philippines College of Baguio; Ateneo de Manila University; and De La
Salle University, responded by using a multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary
perspective in studying development or underdevelopment in the
country. This study seeks to know if the Development Studies programs
of the different universities are really responsive to these needs.
