The world is experiencing its highest rate of urbanization. As a result, cities are experiencing rapid change, challenges, and opportunities. There is a need for safe, resilient communities, effective government and policy, civil discourse, effective and ethical journalism, healthy families, and effective urban support structures for behavioral and/or mental health needs. Graduate students in the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs are encouraged to learn about urban contexts through their coursework, research, and practice. By learning through cutting edge curriculum, engaging in community partnerships, and interacting with a high quality faculty, students have the opportunity to develop solutions for individuals, families, and urban communities.
