The Urban Design and Architecture Studies (UDAS) program takes an interdisciplinary and analytical approach to the field, blending a comprehensive, humanistic view of urban environments with practical training for aspiring architects, urban planners, public officials, and urban commentators. Students and distinguished faculty collaborate in the Grey Art Library and Study Center, featuring lecture halls, seminar rooms, offices, a reference collection, and dedicated spaces for examining visual resources.
As part of NYU's Department of Art History—praised by New York Times critic John Russell as the nation's top undergraduate art history program—Urban Design and Architecture Studies benefits from this legacy. The art history curriculum delivers a thorough exploration of artistic traditions and theories across eras and cultures. Students engage with global art from ancient times to contemporary works, studying not just painting, sculpture, and architecture but also printmaking, illuminated manuscripts, decorative arts, and urban planning. The department stands out for its specialized courses in art conservation and museum studies. New York City's wealth of museums, galleries, and architectural landmarks provides unparalleled opportunities for firsthand study. Additionally, NYU's global campuses in cities like Berlin, Florence, London, and Paris offer art history courses in culturally rich settings worldwide.
