Among the types of employment chosen by recent graduates are urban planning, social work, municipal budgeting, public administration, real estate, community organization, law, business, and journalism. An integrating seminar during the stu- dent's last 2 terms provides an understanding of the application of the various disciplines to policy development and program operations that deal with today's urban conditions. A substantial number of majors in urban studies pursue professional graduate study in urban planning, law, social work, public administration, architecture, and related fields. Students should discuss their plans with the undergraduate advisor in their junior year in order to plan their programs accordingly. All Hunter students are eligible for this program, which includes an internship in a public or non-profit agency and two weekly seminars.
Participants receive credit and a stipend.
