<p>Hi I was just wondering if there are any classes available at BU about Urban Studies or anything of that nature…I’m looking for universities with good prestige and reputation that offer Urban Studies as either major or minor.</p>
<p>Not that I can find.</p>
<p>My friend's daughter in majoring in Urban Studies at UC San Diego. You might want to look at that program. Right now she's in Washington, DC doing an internship.</p>
<p>yea thats what i thought, but the U.S. News list of universities that offer Urban Studies has Boston U in it, but in the BU website I could not find anything related to that major...</p>
<p>Can you tell me any other schools with pretige and great reputation that offer Urban Studies as a major...such as UPenn and Northwestern???</p>
<p>You'll have a wider audience and more repsonses if you post this on the College Search forum.</p>
<p>You'll need to call and look into that, certainly if you are in the University Professors Program you can design your own major, but call and check because some majors have different titles or come under other categories or may even be in development as new majors. If it was listed in US News I would assume there may be something to it. I believe PENN still has an excellent program and if you can get admitted there it is a top notch school/experience in another great city that is a lot like Boston..</p>
<p>This is the closest thing BU has to Urban Studies:</p>
