Join program director Dr. Andrew Zitcer (SAS ’00 Design ’04), as well as some of his Drexel colleagues for an info session this Thursday.

The  next  generation  of  21st  century  urbanists  will  face  complex  social, environmental  and  economic problems  in  an  increasingly  dynamic  and  interconnected  world.  Drexel's Urban  Strategies  program prepares students to meet those challenges through a 48-credit, 2-year, interdisciplinary masters degree that  brings  together  Drexel’s expertise  in  design,  engineering,  business,  policy  and  public  health.
Students  will  hone  their  skills in  real-time  through  practical  engagement  and  experiential learning. The program combines rigorous training in critical thinking and an alytical methods, while grounding students in historical, political and economic context. 

Through  a  partnership  with  the  Lindy  Institute  for  Urban  Innovation, students  will  have  access  to respected  scholars  and  practitioners  from  around  the  world,  who  will  serve  as  their  teachers,  advisors and mentors, in addition to seasoned Drexel faculty. Graduates of the Urban Strategies program will gain public  and  private  sector  employment,  including  positions  in  government  agencies, design  firms,  think
tanks, community development corporations, and beyond.
