Careers in Urban Studies

What can I do with a major in Urban Studies and Community Development?

The Urban Studies degree prepares graduates with both classroom learning and internships, since we know that students must experience learning both in and outside of the classroom. Through partnerships across the Treasure Valley, Urban Studies students make connections with employers outside the campus setting, and learn the demands of various professions.
