New York City Studies Minor

New York City Studies consists of courses that explore the history and culture of this nationally dominant American city and international metropolis. Students will deepen their understanding of the complexity and diversity of New York City by studying art, historical texts and material culture, literature, and the social sciences. Courses are enriched by experiential engagement with the resources of New York City as students utilize libraries and archives, visit museums and historic sites, attend cultural events, and participate in neighborhood walking tours. Through civic-engagement courses and internships, students also have the opportunity for immersive service and work with the city's communities.
