The minor in Urban Studies introduces students to several disciplinary approaches to the study of cities and provides the opportunity to explore one of five specialized options:

  • Cities in comparative and historical perspective

  • Race, ethnicity, and urban life

  • Urban education

  • Urban society and social change

The minor in Urban Studies requires completing seven courses for a letter grade, including the four core courses, the required course in the student’s chosen concentration area, and two additional courses in that option as listed in the Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies listing.
