The Department of Human Geography offers pre-professional programs for students interested in career paths that may be city-related. Students acquire a combination of conceptual, methodological, and critical skills relevant in a variety of professional fields including city planning, real estate development, transportation, housing, community development, urban governance, and city management. The Specialist, Major/Major (Co-op), and Minor Program in City Studies are multidisciplinary: they are designed to give students the opportunity to see how they might apply ideas about cities from the social sciences and kindred disciplines in their field of professional interest. The programs also offer preparation for students interested in pursuing graduate education in a field of study related to cities.

Guidelines for First-year Course Selection

Students intending to complete a program in City Studies should complete CITA01H3 and CITA02H3 within their first 4.0 credits.

Guidelines for Major Program Completion

The City Studies curriculum has three areas of concentration: (1) City-Building, (2) Community Development, and (3) City Governance.

Students are to take CITA01H3 and CITA02H3 (required for all Specialist, Major/Major Co-op, and Minor students in City Studies) along with at least three of the City Studies B-level core courses: CITB01H3, CITB03H3, CITB04H3, or CITB08H3. These core courses cover foundational concepts of the program and are considered essential preparation for upper-level courses. Students are also welcome to take courses in more than one area of concentration. 

Areas of Concentration:

• City Building:  
  CITC03H3, CITC04H3, CITC09H3, CITC14H3, CITC18H3
   
• Community Development:  
  CITC01H3, CITC02H3, CITC07H3, CITC08H3
   
• City Governance:  
  CITC12H3, CITC15H3, CITC16H3, CITC17H3

Notes:

1. It is Department policy that students without the prerequisites will be removed from the course. Students should carefully check the prerequisites required for particular B-and C-level courses.
2. Some upper-level courses (e.g. SOC and MGE) are part of limited enrolment programs, with first preference in these courses going to students enrolled in the associated programs.

Program Combination Restrictions

The Specialist, Major/Major Co-op and Minor programs in City Studies cannot be combined.
