The Development Science Program has been consolidated under the FSSK to digest development issues through studies that include community and national development through restructuring of rural and urban sectors, economic development and resource management and public and private sector institutions, regional development and planning, machinery development and sociopolitical institutions and the administration and formation of public policies that protect the interests of the country and the people. The Development Science Program was evaluated by Professor Dr. Abdul Ghani Salleh from Universiti Sains Malaysia. Apart from offering study programs, this program also uses the available financial resources to develop research areas that are the backbone of the academic excellence of program members. The level of development and achievement of the program can be seen based on the list of publications and research conducted from time to time by program members.
Graduates of the Bachelor of Development Science Program are expected to acquire knowledge and mastery of skills in understanding development issues at the national and global levels and be able to make decisions. Graduates of this program are also expected to have a viable, responsible and ethical attitude in planning and implementing development programs. Pure values are applied through assignments or coursework, including field research, essay writing and presentation as well as project papers.
