BA Urban Studies and Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University

Programme overview

Urban studies is an established and interdisciplinary area of inquiry—focusing on cities and their regions, urban social life, cultures, the built and natural environment, economics, politics, and policy—that is strengthened when students are strongly grounded in a traditional academic discipline. It is also an area of inquiry that has traditionally privileged dynamics of class, inequality, and labor.
