Urban Studies (BA)
Columbia University · New York, United States
About this programme
The Barnard–Columbia Urban Studies program enables students to explore and understand the dynamics of cities and urbanization. Students engage the city as an amalgam of social, spatial, historical, cultural, and environmental phenomena. Students study the evolution of urban forms and social structures, which create opportunities and constraints for the exercise of human agency. They examine the city in different historical and comparative contexts, as well as in the human imagination.
