Penn Institute for Urban Research

Preparing the next generation of thinkers, doers, and scholars

Penn IUR seeks to provide new opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students to enrich their exploration of the urban experience in the classroom and the field. Our programs for academic instruction include: the Undergraduate Urban Research Colloquium (UURC), the Master of Urban Spatial Analytics (MUSA), and the Penn Urban Doctoral Symposium.

Urban Undergraduate programs at Penn include a major and a minor in Urban Studies. Visit the Urban Studies Program for more information.
