Wayne State's Urban Studies Bachelor of Arts program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that provides students with comprehensive knowledge about urban environments and metropolitan regions. This program explores the historical development, spatial organization, and socioeconomic dynamics of cities while addressing their most pressing issues and potential. Through global and local case studies, students gain insights into urban living and develop strategies for tackling city challenges. The coursework analyzes urban regions through historical, international, and comparative lenses, investigating economic, political, and cultural dimensions while proposing real-world solutions to contemporary urban issues. This highly interdisciplinary degree requires coursework across five distinct academic fields, with opportunities through electives to engage with even more disciplines.

Qualification Requirements
International applicants must complete the equivalent of a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree, including all state and external/internal examinations required for the degree. Some three-year general degrees (from Canada, India, Pakistan, France, Lebanon, etc.) may not be equivalent to a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree. However, if you have completed an honors degree, additional undergraduate coursework beyond the three-year bachelor's degree, or a graduate degree, you may be considered for admission. As an international student, you are required to meet the university's English proficiency requirements for Undergraduate Admissions. Minimum scores of 79-80 TOEFL iBT and IELTS 6.5 are required for admission to Wayne State. If your native language is not English but you have been instructed in the English language, you are not necessarily exempt from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the Test of Written English (TWE) and the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) requirements.
