Urban Policy Studies is an interdisciplinary degree program that prepares students for life and work in a range of professions in metropolitan areas. Specializations include planning and economic development, public and nonprofit human resource management, public policy, and local government management. Urban Policy Studies majors learn to analyze the functioning of cities and suburbs, the roles of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in this functioning, and the special importance of public policy in linking these sectors in metropolitan areas.
