As an interdisciplinary program, Urban Studies offers many courses through various departments; therefore, many of our courses are listed on
Banner under the home department's class schedule and not under Urban Studies.
We have listed below the 2008-09 course offerings that meet Urban Studies concentration requirements. Another resource to help you with course selection is Mocha. (To print the following listing, select printer friendly version).
