This integrative program exposes students to a variety of perspectives on conditions and problems of urban life, including issues of economics, politics, race and ethnicity, law, poverty, crime, environment, physical and mental health, art and design, and others. The program therefore is highly adaptable to each student’s needs and they will work with the
