Curriculum Description
This interdisciplinary concentration provides students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences to better appreciate the challenges and opportunities facing people in urban areas. One goal is to understand oneself in the context of the larger community. A second is to explore the range of communities found in postindustrial and developing countries. A third is to provide a vision of social justice to guide social change so that people work together in constructing communities to make them more just, equitable, and humane. Students learn qualitative and quantitative methods and theoretical frameworks.
