Affiliated University/College Semester Programs Development Studies in Honduras (DSP) calvin.edu/academic/off-campus/programs/honduras- development Students attending Development Studies in Honduras spend a Fall semester living with Honduran families and studying economic development theories in the context of poor communities in Honduras. In their host city of Tegucigalpa, students will learn about the factors that make Honduras the third poorest country in the Western world and use that knowledge as a lens through which to look at the rest of the world. In Honduras development theories leap off the pages of textbooks and come alive at garment factories, banana plantations and subsistence farms. All these experiences will empower students to better understand their role as a Christian in our world today.
