Program Overview
After taking urban-focused courses from various departments, many students
decide they would like to continue this exploration and elect to major in
Urban Studies. A major in Urban Studies combines these introductory courses
with our interdisciplinary core courses, a required methods course, and a
senior thesis project.
A major in Urban Studies is also taken in conjunction with a specialization
in a related discipline, such as Anthropology, Architecture, Economics,
Environmental Science, History, Political Science, or Sociology.
Students take two consecutive colloquia during their junior year. Then, in
their final year, they engage in a year-long research seminar consisting
of advanced scholarship using the techniques and research methodologies of
their chosen concentration.
Throughout the program, we encourage our students to take advantage of the
university's unique location in one of the world's largest cities, and to
treat New York City as their laboratory.
