ENDV 302 GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS) (3,1,3)
Students would be introduced to the use of the GPS in spatial data collection. Components of the GIS include: map and spatial information, computer assisted mapping and map analysis, components of GIS (software, hardware and organisation aspects), types of analysis with GIS, types of work (map data representation), identifying resources for development with GIS. Students will gain experience with applications and utilities of Geographic Information Systems, and learn how to plan and implement a GIS project. Emphasis would also be placed on constraints to application of GIS in Africa, with special reference to Ghana.
ENDV 304 LOCAL GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT II (3,1,3)
This course examines the practice of decentralization in Ghana. It is to expose students to understand the practice and trend of decentralization from the colonial period to the present.

ENDV 308 RESEARCH METHODS II (3,1,3)
This course would expose students to the use of rigorous statistics in analyzing research data for informed results. Students would be introduced to statistical tools used in analysis including appropriate softwares that makes it easier to establish relationships among data variable such as regressions, and other inferential and descriptive statistical approaches, test of hypotheses, measuring associations, multivariate analysis of variance, etc.

Students will be engaged in rigorous field studies, site tour of water and wastewater treatment plants and laboratory analysis.
ENDV 316 GENDER, ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT (3,1,3)
Through teaching and research, students will be exposed to the critical factors of gender in the development process for a meaningful understanding of the nature of development.
