Over 80% of the U.S. population lives in urban regions, with cities being hubs of employment and hotbeds of innovation. Global environmental sustainability and social justice today require skilled urban analysts and planners.
The Urban Studies and Community Development academic degree programs use Boise, a booming mid-size city, to illustrate metropolitan trends. Students receive a strong set of core skills and then tailor their major by selecting from a menu of coursework in social science, humanities, business, and community health.
