Empowering Students from All Majors to Tackle the World’s Toughest Challenges
At the University of Maryland, students in the Global Poverty minor aren’t just studying the challenges of poverty—they’re working together to develop real-world solutions. The Global Poverty Impact Fund fuels this mission by equipping students with the resources, experiences, and opportunities they need to address complex challenges like poverty in meaningful and lasting ways.
One of the most powerful aspects of the Global Poverty minor is its interdisciplinary approach. Students from a wide range of majors—including economics, biology, public policy, environmental science, business, sociology, and engineering—come together to examine the root causes of poverty and explore innovative solutions.
By working across disciplines, students gain a holistic understanding of poverty’s economic, social, and environmental dimensions. They learn how incentives, resources, and institutions shape global and local disparities and, most importantly, how collaborative, multi-faceted solutions can create lasting change.
