Undergraduate Minor in City and Regional Planning

Undergraduate Minor in City and Regional Planning

The City and Regional Planning section offers two minors, one at the undergraduate level and one at the graduate level. These minors are ideal supplements to studies in geography, landscape architecture, civil engineering, or other related disciplines.

The choices in core courses ensure that students will gain some exposure to history, theories, or methods in city and regional planning.

The curriculum is designed to be flexible to allow students to take courses that most meet their interests in city and regional planning.

Requirements for the Undergraduate Minor in City and Regional Planning

Credit Hours

Students are required to complete 12 credit hours in city and regional planning to fulfill the minor requirement. At least 6 credit hours must be taken at the 3000-level or above and a student is permitted to overlap up to 6 credit hours between the GE and the minor.

Passing Grades

Students must take the minor courses for a grade and receive a 2.0 or higher. 

Approval of Minor

No permissions or approvals are required from the section to pursue a minor, though students should alert college or school counselors of their intent to complete the minor so that the correct plan can be assigned to their records and tracked in the degree auditing system.
