Pitt's Urban Studies major lets you explore the fascinating complexities of urban environments in the U.S. and internationally. The concepts and skills you will master can help to address the complex problems associated with urban change (urbanization), and to appreciate the experiences of urban residents (urbanism). Bring your interests in housing affordability, transportation planning, business administration, or public health to understand how urban areas shape these problems.

The following video provides extra information on the Urban Studies Program, including the changes in store for the BA in Urban Studies Major, and the events coming up for students this semester and beyond!
