And many continue to share with us their experiences and reflections on Cities as they participate actively in metropolitan growth and development, 提高家庭, and mentor new students and alums.

体系结构

体系结构 has always been one of the most popular career paths for Cities students.

Other alums have extended their undergraduate architectural training in work with 住房, 风景, 或计划.

公共服务

Public service is also a core of the program, reflected in the many students who work with 政府 organizations and civic foundations worldwide. 经常, these students develop their professional interests through schools in 规划 or public policy. While some students have chosen to pursue this through the 3+2 Master in City and Regional Planning 与潘, others have also studied for advanced degrees at MIT, 纽约大学, 加州大学伯克利分校, 和伦敦大学学院, sometimes in conjunction with specific programs that allow them to develop their interests in 教育, 住房, 或者其他领域.

法律

Still other graduates have felt that they could better effect policy decisions through 法律 school. 再一次。, their combinations of interests - 法律 and environment, 移民及劳工, 法律与住房, 法律 and international business - show how the interdisciplinary discussions of the Cities program create wider approaches to 法律 school and careers. The same is true for 医学 and 公共卫生, which at first sight might seem uncommon choices for majors grounded in the social sciences and humanities. 尽管如此, Cities students have gone on to medical programs nationwide as well as earning Master's degrees in Public Health from institutions like Johns Hopkins University and Harvard.

学术生涯

Cities students have also chosen to pursue careers in 教育, whether dealing with the classroom at the elementary and high school levels or completing advanced degrees in fields that represent the full range of academic contributions that constitute our cross-disciplinary discussions. Cities alums can be found today in the classroom as teachers or students in universities across the country and the world, 美国研究, 人类学, 建筑历史, 中国历史, 环境心理学, 地理位置, 历史, 和社会学.

业务

Cities students have also been active in business, 加入纽约的律所, 费城, 旧金山, 和波士顿, 加上M.B.A. and management programs to the variety of advanced degree programs in which the issues of changing cities can be debated and shaped. One of the newer areas of professional interest emerging among graduates involves mass media and communication, 从新闻, 电视, and film to the internet—intersecting as well with alums who have become involved in careers in libraries and information management.

Even this list only begins to suggest the careers and interests that Cities students create after graduation. As alums share news of their projects and successes, their families and neighborhoods, 他们的学生和同事, the legacy of the Cities program once again becomes part of urban form, 生活, 和全世界的想象力.
