Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies
Curriculum
This interdisciplinary major prepares students for community- oriented professions and
active engagement in public service and problem-solving. Urban studies students are well
prepared to begin careers in government, nonprofit or private sector organizations, or to
pursue graduate-level study in the social sciences, public administration or planning.
A key focus of this degree is coursework in the area of Community Leadership and Public
Service, and students may complete a minor in Nonprofit Management and Leadership as
well without exceeding 120 credit hours. This minor provides key skills and the
opportunity to build connections with regional nonprofits through service learning and an
internship. The Urban Studies major is being designed as a completely online degree
program.
