City Planning is closely interrelated with a wide range of disciplines and fields of knowledge, extending from engineering sciences to sociology, history, architecture, law, economics, and political sciences. The Minor Program in City Planning aims to familiarize students from other but related disciplines with the idea of planning and to equip them with a degree of sensitivity towards urban related issues.

The program is, in principle, open to all students from any department of METU and consists of two must courses and four electives to be chosen from the following lists of courses. Successful completion of these courses grants students with a Minor Diploma in City Planning, but does not entitle them to the right to exercise the profession.

In order to complete the Minor Program in City Planning, 6 (six) courses from the list below should be successfully passed. Please aware that at least 2 (two) of the courses should be taken from the (MUST HAVE ELECTIVE) section and other 4 (four) courses can be chosen among the list below. For the course substitution please consult with the Minor program coordinator since students can add maximum 2 (two) courses on both major and minor programs according to METU Directive for Minor Programs (https://oidb.metu.edu.tr/en/middle-east-technical-university-directive-minor-programs).
