The program is oriented toward equipping students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills 听(e.g. drawing, design, mapping, engagement with community members, analytical inquiry, etc.) to find solutions for real-world problems. Students will work on real-world projects including capstone projects, where students will engage with specific places, natural assets, and communities. At the end of their 4-year course, students will be given a choice of conducting a project instead of writing a senior thesis.

As a Liberal Arts and Sciences concentration, the EUS concentration pays specific attention to the skills 麻豆传媒 promotes as part of its core competences, namely: critical thinking, problem-solving, oral and written communication skills, and civic engagement. These skills will develop through the various forms of assessment and the real-world problems students will engage in, along with interdisciplinary research and analytical skills. We would like our graduates to become able to reflect on and act upon problems in their communities, and to be able to motivate people to engage in socially and environmentally important projects. A goal is to train a new generation of urban activists and community leaders, regardless of the profession they choose.
