About
The Program
The program is multidisciplinary, using a variety of analytical
methods to study the life and problems of cities. The primary subject
areas for the major are anthropology/sociology, economics, history,
and political science. However, courses in art, English, classics,
and American studies are also relevant and give the student additional
perspectives on urbanization beyond those offered in the three basic
departments.
Urban studies offers an interdisciplinary major and minor. All
courses toward an urban studies major or minor must be completed
with a grade of C- or higher.
