The urban semester seeks to develop the next generation of influential urban leaders by providing instruction that balances theory and praxis. By utilizing the rich and diverse resources of the City of Boston, a multi-cultural faculty and guest lecturers who are specialists in their field, the semester gives students a well-rounded introduction to the issues and realities of urban culture.
