Overview
The Master of Urban Affairs (MUA) is designed for students seeking
a broad background in urban public policy, community development and
service delivery, and the administration of public and private agencies
in urban settings. Graduates are prepared for careers in which they
assemble and analyze information for policy-making, identify community
needs and resources, and administer effective service delivery programs.
These tasks are common to public, private, and voluntary organizations
in a wide variety of urban functions, such as housing, health services,
economic development, transportation, and environment control. Many
students obtain the Master of Urban Affairs degree in preparation
for further study.
