Undergraduate programs

The Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning offers distinctive opportunities to study community issues with a diverse faculty and student body in a nationally renowned planning school.  Our programs are grounded in the theory and values of community development: the process of collective mobilization for social, economic, and racial justice—often at the neighborhood level.  Graduates of our programs are knowledgeable about housing, community organizing, transportation, economic development, and environmental issues. The programs provide excellent preparation for working in non-profit organizations, consulting firms, and public agencies. Common graduate school pathways include urban planning, public policy, public administration, public health, social work, and social sciences.
