The Department of Urban Studies and Planning offers two minors:

  • Minor in Real Estate and Development
  • Minor in Urban Studies and Planning 

Students that started at UC San Diego prior to Fall 2024 are held to the "Prior to Fall 2024" curriculum requirements regardless of when they declare their minor.

Students that started at UC San Diego in Fall 2024 and later years are held to the "Effective Fall 2024" curriculum requirements.

Important policies and processes:

  • Per USP Department policy all minor courses must be taken for a letter grade and students must earn at least "C-" in each course used for the minor.
  • Per Academic Senate policy, students may overlap a maximum of two upper division courses (8 UD units) between their major and minor. Lower-division classes can apply to both your major and your minor.
  • Double minors: Students can't use an upper-division course to satisfy the requirements of more than one minor.
  • Read the Academic Senate policy on minors (section E).
  • Students can declare the minor using the major/minor tool.
