Boston University's Metropolitan College (MET) offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Urban Affairs degree completion program tailored for domestic transfer students who have completed six or more courses at a regionally accredited institution. This urban affairs bachelor's program combines liberal arts fundamentals with specialized studies in policy, housing, community development, environmental management, health services, and administration. Contemporary urban challenges—from climate-related public health issues like droughts and floods to global pandemics such as COVID-19—demand expertise in sustainability, land use, transportation planning, and climate-responsive practices.
Rooted in urban policy, community development, and public/private agency administration, BU MET's part-time Urban Affairs program cultivates understanding of the political, social, and ethical dimensions of urban policy-making.
