The six-subject Minor in Urban Studies and Planning offers students an excellent opportunity to explore issues in urban studies and planning in some depth. Students initially take two Tier I subjects that establish the government, economic, and urban design contexts for local, urban, and regional decision making. Next, students choose three Tier II elective subjects, which provide an opportunity to focus on urban and environmental policy issues or to study urban problems and institutions. Where undergraduate electives are unavailable in the student's field of interest, the student may choose from a variety of graduate courses, subject to the instructor's permission. Finally, students take 11.123 Big Plans, which aims at a reflective synthesis of past and present efforts to implement large projects and policies. Students are encouraged to craft a minor that reflects their own particular interests within the general parameters of the minor program requirements and in consultation with the minor advisor.
