Verification of Completion of Minor in URS for Nonmajors

The urban and regional studies minor has been formulated specifically for those students not enrolled in the program of urban and regional studies and who are interested in complementing their current academic program with an introduction to various facets of urban studies (domestic, environmental, international, professional, urban affairs).

Students meeting the requirements for this minor should complete this form which, when validated by the Department of City and Regional Planning, serves as evidence of completion of the minor requirements. Students should consult their individual college registrars for information about whether their home college recognizes and notes such minors on transcripts. The curriculum for students in the Minor in URS Program for Nonmajors totals a minimum of at least 6 courses (minimum total of 18 credit hours) in the Department of City and Regional Planning (CRP). Grades must be C or better in all courses used for minor credit.
