Urban Studies is concerned with metropolitan areas in terms of urban problems, community organization and development, administration, and public policy. The various social science disciplines are drawn upon to develop an understanding of, and solution to, the problems that characterize modern urban societies.

The undergraduate program provides a background for students who intend to work in city or state government, planning, community organization, law, or related fields..
