Minor in City Planning

The Department of City and Regional Planning offers a minor in city and regional planning that is open to all majors at UC Berkeley except urban studies.

Each year about 80 students in colleges ranging from Environmental Design, Letters and Science, and Natural Resources complete the minor. The city planning minor provides students with the knowledge of how cities function, how urban processes might be researched, and how urban environments can be transformed through planning, policy, design, and social action. While the minor cannot convey the full scope of city planning, various combinations of courses in the minor program can, we feel, augment a major program with a particular slant or emphasis on planning issues or processes.
