BHSC 125 - Urban Community

Credit(s): 6 credits for students who began the program prior to Spring 2019 / 3 credits for students who began the program in Spring 2019 and Fall 2019
This seminar introduces students to the social sciences through the study of the urban community. Beginning with their own community experiences, students examine their personal perspectives on community life and combine them with an introduction to the theoretical knowledge of the political, social, economic and cultural aspects of urban problems. Through readings in anthropology, economics, history, sociology and political science, students explore major urban problems such as education, housing, transportation, work, crime, city planning and class and racial conflicts.

This course is only open to students in the B.A. Liberal Arts and Sciences program.
