The Master of Urban Planning (MUP) program educates and trains professional urban planners and researchers to become leaders in developing and applying participatory, evidence-based urban and regional policy and planning solutions that move communities toward a sustainable and resilient future. The MUP program uses an evidence-based approach to planning education based on six major learning outcomes: leadership, inquiry skills, planning knowledge, planning processes, plan assessment, and communication. Upon graduation, our students are able to utilize their knowledge and skills to be effective researchers and practitioners in planning and planning-related fields.
