Urban Planning & Public Policy Major

As the world becomes increasingly urban—with about half the global population and roughly 80% of Americans now living in cities—understanding urban life has become central to understanding the human condition. This interdisciplinary major examines cities and urban life across their physical, social, cultural, economic, and political dimensions, covering topics such as urbanization patterns, city governance, housing, transportation, migration, and community development. Combining coursework with community-based experience, the program prepares students for careers and graduate study in fields like urban planning, public health, law, social work, architecture, and public administration.
