Minor in Urban Affairs

Urban affairs provides broad, interdisciplinary examination of the development, functions, and problems of metropolitan areas. Urban affairs focuses on the socio-political and spatial entity of the metropolis in which the size, density, and heterogeneity of the urban population causes both problems and opportunities not found in rural communities. The minor also offers internships and co-op opportunities in urban-related agencies to provide practical work experience with academic credit.
