    New York Studies minor

    Department of Sociology and Anthropology

    The New York City Studies Minor provides students the opportunity to learn about the impact of global trends on New York City, specifically, in addition to urban environments more generally.
    Students will analyze the intersections and contests between global institutions, elites, and local communities. Courses in this program will allow students to understand the rapidly changing
    economic, political, social, environmental, and religious landscapes of the world today.
