Interdisciplinary Studies

Urban Studies Minor

The Urban Studies minor offers students an interdisciplinary approach to understanding cities, the people and the social groups who live in them. Faculty members from a wide variety of disciplines within the social sciences and humanities assist students in examining how cities have evolved through time, identifying problems and opportunities associated with urban life, and exploring strategies for the reconstruction of the contemporary city. Although the primary focus is on urban affairs, considerable attention is also devoted to suburban topics in many courses. Students who choose to minor in Urban Studies will be required to complete two core courses and four elective courses.
