A degree in electrical engineering leads to jobs in a variety of settings, from top companies like IBM and ExxonMobil to independent start ups looking to fulfill a consumer need.

Urban studies is the analysis of cities, the people who live in them, how they function and how they are governed. In some fields, such as education, healthcare and law, urban areas present issues that don’t exist in rural or suburban communities. The majority of the world’s population now lives in cities. It is essential that there are urban studies problem-solvers who understand cities’ distinct challenges.

What Will You Learn?
As an urban studies major, you will take courses that span many subject areas and learn about:
