Are you interested in political, economic, historical, and cultural issues that face U.S. cities?
If so, the new minor in Urban Studies is for you!
Why Urban Studies?
DU now has an academic program that offers a broad introduction to the urban environment. Students in the Urban Studies Minor will learn about the origins and contemporary problems of urban society in the USA; the current challenges and future possibilities facing the large American city; the intended and unintended consequences of public policy pertaining to land-use, transportation, housing, education, growth management, and economic development; the social life and culture of urban living; and cities as places of excitement and stimulation, and as places of danger and despair.
