Core Courses in Global Urban Humanities
The Core courses are intended to introduce graduate students to theories and methods for investigating urban form and the human experience in cities, and provide an opportunity to conduct a fieldwork-based investigation of a city. Graduate students are required to take one Core Seminar, one Core Humanities Studio/Interdisciplinary Research Studio, and one Elective course outside of their home discipline to complete the Certificate program in Global Urban Humanities.
