The goal of the Department of Urban Studies is
to foster an understanding of the complex challenges that face our
increasingly urban and metropolitan world. The field of Urban Studies uses
an interdisciplinary approach to understanding metropolitan life. It
immerses students in an academically rigorous and personally challenging
course of study that helps them discover who they are, and how they can
become change agents in our global society. Urban Studies fosters the
development of critical thinking skills necessary to function effectively in
today's competitive world. Department graduates enjoy outstanding careers in
a wide variety of occupations, such as, public administration, non-profit
management, urban planning, business, law, human services, health care
management, housing management, gerontology and social work.
