Urban Studies Field Placement
URBNST 1900 (6 credits)
Students obtain experience in an urban-related profession. The Urban Studies Program places students in a wide variety of working situations. Although all of these situations bring the student face to face with the nature of problem-solving in a real-world organization, they are as varied as the intellectual and career interests of the students.
For permission to register, see the Urban Studies advisor.
