Co-taught with UBC's Department of Geography, the Bachelor of Arts, Urban Studies, combines foundational and applied knowledge with progressively advanced community-engaged learning. Learn more about this degree!
In the Urban Studies Capstone, students reflect on, draw from, and build upon the skills they have developed through the Urban Studies program by participating in this
community-engaged learning process with local organisations involved in shaping urban life across our region.
Students and partners collaboratively scope research questions, which students answer using a variety of methods, from interviews to workshops to spatial analysis.
Capstone projects are mutually beneficial for students and partners:
- offering students hands-on training working on real-time local issues
- offering partners creativity and capacity to explore questions that are meaningful to them.
