USP students and faculty use methodological approaches including ethnographic, archival, quantitative, GIS, and survey research.

Much of the research conducted in Urban Studies is focused on the United States in general and the Milwaukee area in particular, but our faculty also includes international specialists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\".\/academics\/ \" rel=\"\">Our Degree Programs<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock uwm-p-gridblock--3\"><div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--stat uwm-p-block--gold \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/linkedin-cities-rise-2025-25-fastest-growing-us-metros-jobs-jqiqc\/\" rel=\"\" target=\"\"><div class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><span>Milwaukee<strong>#5<\/strong>&#8220;Cities on the Rise&#8221;<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--image  uwm-p-gridblock--stretch\"><button class=\"uwm-p-modal--launch\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-controls=\"uwm-modal-director-welcome\" data-modal-content-id=\"uwm-modal-director-welcome\" data-modal-prefix-class=\"uwm-p\" data-modal-close-text=\"Close\" data-modal-close-title=\"Close\"><span class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2023\/01\/Sociology_grid-block_rect_488222177.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\"\/><span class=\"uwm-p-block--\">Director&#8217;s Welcome<\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--image  \"><button class=\"uwm-p-modal--launch\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-controls=\"uwm-modal-what-can-i-do\" data-modal-content-id=\"uwm-modal-what-can-i-do\" data-modal-prefix-class=\"uwm-p\" data-modal-close-text=\"Close\" data-modal-close-title=\"Close\"><span class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2023\/01\/Sociology_gridblock_square_331473777.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\"\/><span class=\"uwm-p-block--\">What can I do with an Urban Studies degree?<\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"uwm-modal-what-can-i-do\" class=\"hidden\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-can-i-do\">What can I do with an Urban Studies degree?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other degree programs housed in 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s College of Letters and Science, Urban Studies\u2019 educational program nourishes students\u2019 broad analytical skills, with an eye toward researching and understanding cities.

Founded in the 1960s as the Department of Urban Affairs, the Urban Studies Programs combine passion for social justice with hard-edged social science research. In our programs, undergraduates and graduate students can learn about cities and suburbs from faculty with urban expertise from multiple 51ÁÔÆæ departments. We offer an extensive array of extracurricular, urban-themed activities, including an annual State of the City Summit every fall and graduate-student run conference every spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We welcome graduate applications from students of all ages and a wide variety of intellectual backgrounds. Previous experience in Urban Studies is not necessary. The small size of our student body means that students can receive lots of attention from program staff.
