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.

This minor is not open to students in the Macaulay Honors Program, and it satisfies the College Option requirement.

Requirements for the Minor

Students are expected to complete the minor requirements in place at the time they are officially accepted into their programs. Please review the College Bulletin for the relevant academic year.
