The Department of Rural Development offers programs focused on rural studies and rural development that are unique in Western Canada

The establishment of the Department of Rural Development at Brandon University in 1999 is a response to the issues facing rural communities. The Department of Rural Development will increasingly become a resource for affecting change in these communities. The Department offers programs focused on rural studies and rural development that are unique in Western Canada. 

The Department of Rural Development strives to ensure that the concerns and needs of graduate studies are addressed, by offering a number of supports.
