Simon Fraser University has announced a new Bachelor of Arts in Urban Worlds. The program—which aims to address urban issues and improve cities—is a collaborative degree between the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Environment. Students can choose from one of two streams, and additionally have the option to pursue an accelerated Master’s admissions path for two of SFU’s master’s programs. “Urbanization is growing faster than our understanding of how to improve cities,” said SFU Professor Anthony Perl. Perl added that the skills students learn “will enable them to manage the disruptions and minimize the inequities that arise from urbanization, advance the common good, and deliver on government commitments to make cities better for all.”
