    Urban and Inner-City Studies

    About

    Overview The Urban and Inner-City Studies program at University of Winnipeg combines a traditional urban studies focus with courses that examine various aspects of the inner city, such as the urban Indigenous experience, the immigrant and refugee experience, urban poverty, the housing problem, and the role of women. In Canada, cities continue to be centres of great challenges: from managing suburban growth, to promoting inner-city revitalization; from responding to the opportunities and challenges created by rapidly changing demographics to those created by globalization and socio-economic change.   Cities are also home to increased concentrations of poverty, racism, and social and political exclusion. The Department of Urban and Inner-City Studies provides an opportunity to examine the political, economic, social and spatial context of these and many other important aspects of urban change from an interdisciplinary perspective. OptionsThe Certificate Program in Urban and Inner-City Studies, and the Certificate Program in Community Advocacy, are 30-credithour programs, designed especially but not only for part-time students. Awarded annually by the Department of Urban and InnerCity Studies, the Certificates will indicate a pre-degree designation. Since the courses required for each of these two Certificates are also part of the degree program, they can be used towards a 3-year, 4-year or Honours BA, if the student chooses to continue his/her studies.
    The Urban and Inner-City Studies program at University of Winnipeg is an interdisciplinary Major that examines the city as a dynamic environment.
