Courses
Urban Studies Classes at Yale, 2010-2011
The list below contains information about courses that consider
cities, sutainability, urban thought, design, community, architecture,
culture, and other components of city life. They are boringly sorted by
department and course number. Classes that fall under more than one
department are only listed once: under whichever department their
description appears in the bluebook.
This guide does not attempt to list all of the courses that may
supply essential background or illuminating context for the
understanding of cities. Still, a sampling of some that seemed to the
compilor to be particularly relevant or interesting have made their way
in. Information about other possible background classes– from
introductory economics to African American history to classes on
migrations or unions – can be found at the Yale Online Course
Information Web site, www.yale.edu/oci.
Students can and should consult their faculty advisor or a member of
the Urban Studies Committee for more guidance. If you think a course
should be on this list and isn't, let it be known. Email the urban list
