Laurier Arts: The Urban Studies Sustainability Project Wilfrid Laurier University

"Urban Studies is a great field because more and more people are moving to larger cities. Infrastructure, transportation, buildings – everything needs to be renewed and the Urban Studies capstone seminar really helps you have that insight into what might work best for a certain area. There's no exam, there's no midterm. It's this huge project that you work on all term. It prepares you for real life. It prepares you for the job market. We really have the highest impact learning moments with students when we're out in the field. The Capstone Urban Sustainability project is the bridge between academic studies in the bubble of Laurier to real-world problems. This capstone course really was invaluable to understanding how to apply all of our knowledge in the real-world setting"
