Urban Studies Programs offers two interdisciplinary graduate programs of study. Both programs are jointly sponsored by the Departments of History and Sociology and include participating faculty from these two departments plus Geography and Political Science.
The Master of Science degree program in Urban Studies provides students with a broad understanding of urban society and trains them in research techniques appropriate to the study of metropolitan communities. The course of study stresses the understanding of social processes and the analysis of social and economic policies affecting cities.
The Ph.D. degree program in Urban Studies is designed to prepare individuals to obtain employment in academic departments, as well as government institutions and social agencies, and to conduct sophisticated research in the field of urban studies. The course of study emphasizes history, research methodology, and social science theory.
