Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning
The degree of Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning (M.A.U.R.P.) is a
graduate degree for professional urban and regional planners and meets the
educational requirements for the American Institute of Certified Planners. The
program is accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board. General requirements are
the same as for other Master of Arts degrees with thesis, except that the minimum
registration required is 52 credits including no more than 6 credits in URP 6971 or
6979. All areas allow a project (requiring 6 credits) in lieu of thesis (with permission
from the academic unit's Graduate Faculty).
M.A.U.R.P./J.D. joint program: A 4-year program leading to the Juris Doctor and
Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning degrees is offered under the joint
auspices of the College of Law and the College of Design, Construction, and Planning,
Department of Urban and Regional Planning. For students interested in the legal
problems of urban and regional planning, this program blends law studies with
relevant course work in the planning curriculum. Students receive both degrees at the
end of a 4-year course of study whereas separate programs would require 5 years.
Students must take the GRE and the LSAT before admission, must be admitted to
both programs, and must complete the first year of law school course work before
commingling law and planning courses. A thesis is required on completing the course
work.
Interested students should apply to both the Holland Law Center and the Graduate
School, noting on the application the joint nature of their admission requests. For
more information on the program, contact the Holland Law Center and the
Department of Urban and Regional Planning.
