Core Curriculum
Our Urban Studies major is structured around three core classes that allow students to gain a richer appreciation of the discipline, its major texts, central arguments, and critical perspectives. These three courses prepare students for their post-graduate years, whether they attend graduate school or enter the workforce.

Areas of Concentration
In addition to the core classes, students must complete seven classes in one of three areas of concentration. Each of these concentrations is designed to make more complex students’ understanding of particular aspects of the urban experience.
Graduate Study
Students interested in graduate study in Urban Studies, or a related field, are strongly encouraged to take these courses.
