The M.A. in Urban Affairs and Public Policy program at the University of Delaware emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding communities and the policies that affect them. The core integration of academics, public service, and research makes our program a leader in the field as well as a model for the combination of theory and practice. Students take courses and simultaneously engage in service and research for public, private, and nonprofit organizations. In the most recent ratings of city management/urban affairs programs, the University of Delaware's program ranked 9th in the U.S. News and World Report rankings. The Community Development and Nonprofit Leadership concentration provides professional training for those who desire careers with public, nonprofit, community-based or private organizations involved in efforts to build the social, economic, cultural and political infrastructure of communities. It also prepares individuals for further graduate training. Drawing on the City of Wilmington and its surrounding region as a laboratory for research and analysis, the concentration focuses on the conceptual and analytic skills necessary to identify and build resources, and design and assess strategies that improve the quality of life in communities, particularly those that are impoverished. The Center for Community Research and Service (formerly Center for Community Development and Family Policy) plays a key role in supporting this concentration by providing students opportunities to engage in research that addresses a wide array of issues, including: local/community based economic development, housing, poverty, neighborhood planning and governance, and utilization of nonprofit and private resources.
