The Urban Studies Certificate offers students the opportunity to supplement their education and training with a focus on the problems and potentials of the urban world around us. Eighty percent of Americans live in one of the country’s nearly 400 major metropolitan areas. Understanding the economic, social, cultural, political and spatial phenomena of urban areas, and how they came to be, is essential if one is to thrive in today’s world. The Urban Studies curriculum begins with an interdisciplinary Introduction to Urban Studies and then weaves the multidisciplinary urban offerings into a coherent understanding of urban life. The Urban Studies Coordinator helps each student fashion a curriculum that meets his/her unique intellectual and career needs. The curriculum, through its courses and internship possibilities, focuses on the “real world,” thus providing students with a valuable foundation for their career planning and advancement. With the help of the Urban Studies Coordinator, students can design concentrations in urban planning, urban management, community development, community organizing, etc. The Certificate requires a minimum of 24 credits.
