Urban and Regional Studies Minor
College of Architecture, Art and Planning
Program Description
The Urban and Regional Studies (URS) minor has been formulated specifically for out-of-department undergraduate students who are interested in complementing their current academic program with an introduction to various facets of urban studies.
To complete the minor in URS, students must take at least six courses (minimum total of 18 credits) in the Department of City and Regional Planning (CRP). Courses must be completed with letter grade of C or better.
Application Process
Interested students must complete an Intent to Minor form in order to receive emails about CRP courses and events. Completed forms should be submitted to the Department of City and Regional Planning. Upon completion of course requirements, students complete an Application to Graduate with a Minor in URS form, and submit it to the Department of City and Regional Planning Office, 110 W. Sibley Hall at least one month prior to graduation. The Department of City and Regional Planning will verify completion of the minor and the minor will be recorded on the official transcript at the time of degree completion. Both the Intent to Minor form and the Application to Graduate with a Minor in URS form are found online on the AAP Academic Forms page.
Questions regarding the minor can be directed to the Department of City and Regional Planning at crpinfo@cornell.edu.
