PSC 3010 - Urban Politics

Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): PSC 1010 or PSC 1020 or Permission of instructor

Description: This course introduces students to a variety of aspects of governing, politics and policy that occur within urban settings in the United States. To do so, the course focuses on the unique aspects of politics and policies that mark city politics. These unique aspects of urban politics include constraints on behavior as cities compete over people and resources, a rich cultural and racial diversity, crime, education, poverty, and many other issues that are pronounced within cities, and are thus uniquely dealt with through city politics.
