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 students from any planning-related department of METU and consists of a must course and five electives to be chosen from among the following 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.
