This program allows Urban Studies majors to complete a B.A. in Urban Studies in The College of Arts and Sciences and a master's in public administration in the Henry W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration in five years. The program allows students to take M.P.A. courses to satisfy Urban Studies and M.P.A. requirements, which reduces the number of courses needed to complete both degrees.

Students interested in this option should first contact the Director of Urban Studies at (816) 235-2971 during the final semester of the junior year or early in the first semester of the senior year.
