The Urban and Environmental Policy major is a unique combination of classroom learning and hands-on experience in public affairs and civic action.

Urban and Environmental Policy includes such topics as housing and community development, public health, land use and transportation, poverty and social welfare, food and resource issues, air and water, criminal justice, race and gender relations, class relations, and other topics at the local, national and international levels.
