Community Studies Concentration

The Community Studies concentration is intended to help students deepen their understanding and working knowledge of a wide range of communities—social as well as geographical—in order to apply that knowledge in a variety of settings and contexts.

This concentration will appeal to students who want to stretch and deepen their understanding of, and involvement with, a variety of geographic communities at the local, national, and international level, as well as the non-spatial communities formed out of collective identities and experiences.
