Urban Studies

Urban Studies is about problem solving in the real world. This program offers students coursework to prepare them to find solutions to many of the issues encountered in urban centers, as well as civic learning opportunities to apply what they've learned in the classroom to their communities.

Classes highlight the historical, economic, and cultural components that create our cities. Woven throughout the Urban Studies option is the theme of sustainability as a means to enhance the modern urban landscape. Students who complete this program have exciting transfer opportunities in Urban Studies and Regional Planning, as well as the broader field of Sociology.
