Master of City and Regional Planning
The MCRP degree program prepares students to excel as professionals capable of understanding and resolving complex urban planning problems. The curriculum gives students both an understanding of the urban and regional environment, and a foundation of skills needed to plan for this environment.
M.S. in Geographic Information Science and Technology
Geographic Information Science (GIS) is an emerging field of study centered on the acquisition, management, analysis, and dissemination of spatially-referenced information on, above, and below the surface of the earth. The MS-GIST degree program gives students the skillset necessary to enter the workforce after a year of coursework and a final capstone project.
Dual Degrees
Students may participate in dual-degree programs by combining the MCRP degree with the Master of Science in Geographic Information Science and Technology, the Master of Architecture, the Master of Science in Civil Engineering, the Master of Science in Public Policy, or the Juris Doctor degree.
