The program uses the HOPE Model, which integrates human, organizational, physical and economic aspects of community development for a comprehensive approach to the renewal of communities.<\/p>\n<p>The MCD is a unique program not found anywhere else in the United States. While other degree programs focus on one aspect of community development, Detroit Mercy\u2019s program emphasizes a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. Students have collaborated with more than 100 local organizations in support of class assignments, capstone projects, research, internships and fellowships.<\/p>\n<p>The MCD program includes faculty from a number of different academic departments as well as professionals in community development to provide a broad, interdisciplinary foundation. The result is a program that combines theory with practical application.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for fall 2020 applications to the MCD program is May 1, 2020.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"http:\/\/udmercy.edu\/mcd\">Learn more about this open house and the MCD program online<\/a>.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE \u2013\u00a0The MCD Open House has moved online.
