Welcome

Brian Coffey, Ph.D. "We seek to instill in students an understanding of and appreciation for the complexity and diversity of the urban environment and urban trends across the globe. A concern for social justice and the quality of life in cities are cornerstones of UWT's Urban Studies program. Located on the Pacific Rim, we also are committed to fostering a global perspective among our students."

—Brian Coffey, Ph.D.
Director and Professor
