Urban Studies, Minor
The Urban Studies minor offers students an opportunity to think and learn about cities in an informed, disciplined and integrated way. The program introduces a variety of perspectives on the origins, development, and nature of cities, stressing the application of theory to practice. Students take four Urban Studies courses, and complete an internship for an additional two CUs in this six CU minor. The internship component allows students the opportunity to work closely with a community group, public agency, non-profit or private organization in the city.
