Program Description
Global Student Success Program (GSSP)
Queens College Global Student Success Program (GSSP) is a required first-year experience program designed by academic experts covering all aspects of a student's new living and learning environment in the United States.
As a Queens College student from day one, they will enjoy the added benefits of smaller classes where they will receive more personalized attention, and access to academic advisors and tutoring as well as opportunities to connect with other international and American students through a variety of social activities, student clubs and organizations.
Urban Studies involves the interdisciplinary study of metropolitan areas. Drawing mainly on the social sciences and humanities, it explores the origins, growth, economics, politics, and social fabric of cities, and focuses on the many sorts of problems and challenges they face—such as poverty, segregation, homelessness, and pollution.
The program introduces students to critical theory and urban policy analysis, and trains them in a mix of practical research, community-building, and report-writing skills that empower them as urban professionals and citizens. The curriculum, which includes a service-learning component, benefits from the program’s location and networks in a vibrant, diverse world city.
Urban studies prepares students for graduate, law, or other professional schools as well as for meaningful work in city or state government, community organizations, or related fields.
