Community Development and Urban Management
The community development and urban management specialization prepares students to operate effectively in community settings where resources are often scarce and societies may be divided along race, class, gender, and ideological lines. Community planners and urban managers work to make neighborhoods, cities, and regions more equitable, accountable, efficient, and socially just places. Courses provide skills and knowledge in urban management, public finance, community development, neighborhood analysis, and issues of race, class, and gender in the city.
