Urban Studies Program Designed as an interdisciplinary program, Urban Studies offers a broad introduction to the city and the urban environment. Students combine course work and urban issues with hands-on experience in New York City.  By integrating study from numerous academic disciplines, students gain a strong understanding of the complex relationships that contribute to both the problems and opportunities of city living.  A dedicated faculty offer courses ranging from urban politics and community, architecture and the built environment, urban history, immigration and class relations, to literary representations of urban space.
