Urban Studies

Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs

Minor Requirements

The Urban Studies minor requires a total of 18 credits.  A total of three courses can be used to count for both a student’s major, another minor, and the Urban Studies minor.  However, 3 upper-level Urban Studies courses (300 or above) courses must be used exclusively to meet the minor requirements (ie. cannot also meet major or other minor requirements). 

All Urban Studies courses may also count for Distribution and University Studies requirements.

New approved courses are added every semester, so interested students should check with the Urban Studies Director for up-to-date lists.

A minor must be completed at the time of the degree and will be so noted in the student’s transcript.  A student cannot be readmitted to the University to complete only a minor. 

URB Foundations Course (3 Credits)

URB Elective Courses (12 Credits)

Urban Studies minors must complete 12 elective credits.  At least 9 credits must be 300 level or higher and may not be used to meet the student’s major or other minor requirements.

Elective courses include all courses on the approved Urban Studies Approved Course List.  Additional courses may be substituted at the discretion of the Urban Studies Director.  Electives must include courses from a minimum of two different departments.

URB Capstone, Seminar, or Internship Course (3 Credits)

This course must be a 300 level or above course from the Urban Studies Approved Course List or a relevant substitution that is approved by the Urban Studies Director(s) prior to taking the capstone, seminar, or internship.  Approved internships include The Washington Center.
