Blends scholarly methods with practical applications to explore urban environments, the impact of physical spaces, and solutions for complex societal challenges. This multidisciplinary undergraduate program at Stanford merges theoretical frameworks with hands-on learning to examine city dynamics. If you're curious about urban living patterns (including suburban areas), how built environments shape human actions, or approaches to persistent issues like inner-city poverty, housing insecurity, or struggling education systems, Urban Studies could be your ideal field.
A high school diploma or the equivalent is required in order to enroll at Stanford. Generally, we receive English proficiency exam results (TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test, etc.) from applicants whose native language is not English and/or the primary language of instruction at their secondary school is not English.
