Planners bring together knowledge and expertise from many diverse disciplines to shape neighborhoods, cities, and regions. The Urban and Regional Planning minor helps students to think across those fields of expertise and act upon links among environmental systems, infrastructure development, and housing and community development. The minor teaches technical and analytical skills needed to think strategically about developing and implementing plans at the neighborhood, city, and regional level.
