INTRODUCTION
The Urban Studies major focuses on cities where
most Americans live. It is a multi-disciplinary major that enables
students to understand and make a positive contribution to the urban
environment, the place we call home. Courses in several disciplines
illustrate urban politics, administration, economic development,
transportation, housing, contemporary social issues, social psychology
and juvenile delinquency. You have an opportunity to study methodologies
within several courses of study such as economics, history, sociology
and psychology and to develop an understanding of the relationships
among these disciplines. This understanding is the most valuable
aspect of a liberal arts education. This course of study is a natural
for double majors or minors. You may select from many, including
but not limited to economics, sociology, history, or psychology.
You graduate with both breadth and depth that is tailored to your
specific interests.
Urban Studies majors have an opportunity to learn
and apply concepts through courses of study that include core requirements
in urban politics, history, economics, sociology, research methods
and statistics. Your study also is enhanced by electives in planning,
architecture, contemporary social issues, and environmental ethics.
A special feature of the major is the internship. Although all students
have an opportunity to intern, this practical experience is required
in Urban Studies. This opportunity is a natural bridge between college
and career. Consequently, majors are prepared for graduate study
or employment in many fields.
.
Many of our graduates have taken positions in government planning
or administration. Others obtain positions in the private sector.
They have pursued graduate studies at several universities including
Georgia State University and Michigan State University and have
succeeded in obtaining graduate assistantships to defray the costs
of graduate studies.

ADVISING
|
All majors are strongly encouraged to meet with their
advisor for registration in courses. Many courses are offered only
once a year and, with prerequisites, require careful planning. For
example, ECON 307 Urban Economics is offered once a year during the
spring semester. In order to enroll in this course you must have completed
MATH 105 and ECON 201 and 202. In addition, in the event that a core
course is not offered, you need to have an approved substitute. There
are instances in which you may be given credit for travel courses.
You may also discuss the need to reconcile your course and work schedules.
You must see your advisor, in order to graduate in a timely fashion.

TRAVEL COURSES
Students are encouraged to enroll in these courses because they contribute
to a different vision of urban development and culture. This vision
can enhance your ability to address issues relating to planning and
administration and policy and social problems, the two concentrations
in the major.
Urban Studies students have summer and full semester opportunities
to study off campus. Faculty who regularly offer travel courses appropriate
for majors are Dr. Ralph Muldrow and Dr. Robert Russell who teach
courses in Urban Design and Architecture. Students have an opportunity
to travel to New York City, England and Italy. Courses scheduled by
the Language Departments may also be appropriate. As the College expands
its national and international study program, these opportunities
will increase. Credit for the courses can be arranged through the
Director of the major.

INTERNSHIP/PRACTICUM
|
REQUIREMENTS
Students are required to complete URST
400 during the senior year. lnternships are available in the summer,
fall and spring semesters. You must complete a registration form that
must be signed by the director of urban studies to register and obtain
credit toward your degree.
Students are responsible for obtaining the internship by interviewing
with prospective agencies. If you are employed by an agency, that
experience may serve as internship credit subject to approval by the
director of urban studies. A current list of participating agencies
may be obtained from the director of the major. The number of hours
spent in service to the agency should equal the hours necessary to
complete a two our course. The schedule of hours and project assignment
will be negotiated with the agency. A
minimum of 10 hours a week are needed to fulfill requirements.
An evaluation from the intern supervisor is also required for credit
to be given. This
evaluation rates your performance including how well you accomplished
your assignments and whether you were a responsible individual that
the agency could rely on to complete assignments and report to work
as scheduled. A large part of your grade is based upon this performance
evaluation.
An internship report is required. This report includes a summary
of the work performed and an assessment of the relationship between
your courses and the internship experience. The paper should include
an evaluation of specific courses. For example, you may state, "during
the meetings I attended, I observed the negotiations among representatives
of departments that provide different services. The courses that helped
me understand the various perspectives of the representatives were
SOCY 102 and history 211 in which we covered problems and solutions
in the urban environment such as the need for afffordable housing,
POSC 201 that explained administrative behavior of bureaucrats, and
BADM 231 that illustrated the use of statistics in documentation of
the accomplishments of the agency as well as support for continuing
or expanding a service." This assessment may include core, concentration
and elective courses. Finally, you are expected to recommend courses
that your experience indicates would be useful to future urban studies
majors.
You are expected to fulfill the internship in a professional and
responsible manner. You are a representative of the College of
Charleston and the Urban Studies Major. Future internships and employment
opportunities for College students depend upon your professionalism
and ability to perform the work assigned. You are expected to dress
professionally for the interview and for work and assume responsibility
in reporting to work and accurately completing projects in a timely
fashion. Your grade is based upon intern performance and the quality
of the paper. As previously stated, your agency supervisor will evaluate
you peifomiance. The evaluation is based upon a five point scale with
unexcused absences factored in. The quality of the paper is based
upon the rigor with which you assess the relationship of the courses
to the work performed for the agency and the clarity of explanation.
A letter grade of "A" is not automatic. You must meet the
expectations of the agency and facuIty supervisors.
