What You'll Learn

In a world where over half the population now lives in urban areas, understanding urban contexts is more important than ever. ÃÛÌÒapp's Urban Studies minor invites you to explore the dynamic systems that shape our neighborhoods, cities, and global communities. You'll learn how politics, infrastructure, and social services intersect to influence daily life. Explore how you can be part of shaping more just and vibrant urban futures.

Rooted in a Christian perspective, the Urban Studies minor draws from a wide range of disciplines to help you see cities not just as places, but as living systems that affect people’s work, relationships, and spiritual well-being. You’ll challenge assumptions, engage deeply with communities, and seek paths toward Christ’s renewal in the heart of the city.

In the Urban Studies program, you’ll:

  • Engage with real-world urban issues through internships, jobs, and off-campus study programs.
  • Serve and learn from diverse communities, gaining insight and empathy through hands-on experience.
  • Integrate your learning with any major—whether you're studying business, sociology, environmental science, or theology.
  • Seek renewal by examining how cities can be places of justice, healing, and hope.
