Welcome to Urban Studies at UWM!
Our program offers a dynamic and interdisciplinary approach to understanding cities, suburbs, and regions, with a particular focus on the social science methods that shape strong research. As a student, you’ll have the opportunity to engage with a wide range of methodological tools that allow you to ask and answer critical questions about how urban areas develop, change, and function.
Whether you’re interested in community dynamics, housing policy, urban governance, or regional development, you’ll find an environment where rigorous research meets real-world relevance. By combining methodological training with a metropolitan view of the “urban,” you’ll be well prepared to make meaningful contributions in academic, professional, and civic settings.
