Students study and carry out research in professional settings through student-centered and experience based learning. Three courses provide learning domains for professional, community, and personal development, responsibility, and leadership. Students use social science research methods with a focus on participant observation, interviews and literature-based research. All students use qualitative, quantitative, academic, and documentary evidence to support the research questions they set out to investigate on topics related to multicultural issues in urban affairs. They learn to develop plans of action to initiate change.
Students learn by doing and reflecting.
