B.S. in Urban Technology
Degree Information
Eligibility
The Urban Technology program is designed for recent high school graduates who will be first-year students at the University of Michigan. Current U-M undergraduates may apply for a cross-campus transfer. Urban Technology is not available to students transferring into the University of Michigan.
First Year
If you’re joining us as a first-year student with a declared major, you will take required courses each semester.
Cross-Campus Transfer
If you’re transferring from a different U-M Ann Arbor school/college, you should complete a minimum of 34 credit hours and a maximum of 70 credit hours during your first two years on campus, including all of the prerequisite coursework outlined below. This program is not currently available to transfer students outside of the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. Learn more about cross-campus transfer requirements.
Degree Requirements
You will complete a total of 120 credits as an Urban Technology student. Required courses focus on cities, technology, and design.
Academic Minors
Students in the urban technology program have the option of electing one or more academic minors offered by departments across campus. Taubman College offers two minors: Architecture and Real Estate.
Minors are intended to recognize the completion of a coherent sequence of courses in a particular academic area. They also serve as recognition, via the transcript notation, of the completion of a more in-depth course sequence.
Students are also welcome to complete any other student-initiated major or minor with other departments or schools on campus. The student must work directly with both departments to satisfy all requirements for both programs, allowing them to earn a minor or second area of concentration (major).
To initiate a minor, a student must meet with an advisor in the minor discipline and together with that advisor determine the necessary minor courses. The certification that the appropriate courses have been completed will be communicated from the department offering the minor to the Taubman College registrar. The student will be responsible for making sure this paperwork arrives at the appropriate offices.
