Dual Degrees
Master of Architecture/Master of Planning
The Master of Planning/Master of Architecture dual degree program facilitates highly related cross-disciplinary studies in architecture and in planning at the master’s level. This program offers students interested in developing a career in urban design an opportunity to make more substantial commitments in both disciplines and to achieve a more coherent and extensive knowledge in the design of built environments and public policy. This dual degree program normally requires five semesters in residence.Qualified students who are admitted to the graduate programs in both the School of Architecture and the School of Policy, Planning, and Development may complete both degrees in a highly integrated five-semester program. Such students must already possess a degree in architecture.
