Boston University's Metropolitan College (MET) offers a Master of Urban Affairs (MUA) program designed to equip students for leadership roles in urban settings, delivering comprehensive knowledge about the technical, socio-political, and economic factors influencing city landscapes.
Climate-related public health challenges—ranging from droughts to floods—along with ongoing global health crises like COVID-19 significantly affect urban areas and their communities. The design and planning of cities now play a more crucial role than ever in determining living standards. BU MET's Urban Affairs graduate program features courses that connect theoretical frameworks with practical applications in essential fields, including environmental sustainability, housing and community development, infrastructure, public finance, transportation, and urban design with a focus on energy and climate.
This Master of Urban Affairs program is tailored for individuals aiming to gain a holistic perspective on urban public policy, community development, service provision, and the management of public and private urban organizations. The MUA curriculum builds a strong theoretical, analytical, and practical foundation for navigating the intricacies of urban ecosystems.
