CUE Programs

Core Programs

• The  Urban Studies major helps students develop a sophisticated grasp of cities and their role in global affairs.
• The  Urban Studies minor complements many other programs of study.
• The Aequitas Program in Urban Leadership is a four-year, cohort-based, experiential program that educates Wheaton College students to promote just, sustainable, and flourishing urban communities through academic study, experiential learning, immersion programs, and Christian service.
• Through a combination of coursework and internships,  Wheaton in Chicago presents students with the opportunity to spend a semester living and learning in Chicago, one of the world's most diverse and influential global cities. All WIC students explore the meaning of vocation through our Civitas program, which examines the call to Christ, community, career, and justice.
• The CUE Scholars' Corner is a colloquium series for our core and supporting faculty.
• Lectures and other events allow our community of faculty, staff, and students to hear from distinguished scholars, practitioners, and public intellectuals. 
• CUE sponsors its annual Dr. Samuel H. Shellhamer paper competition challenging students to engage with and write about topics related to the city and urban life.
