The Master of Urban Design degree program is an advanced, interdisciplinary program of study with a concentrated time for completion. The program's goals are to further train designers who are able to work effectively in teams across a large range of scales and with a well-developed understanding of urban places and the interdependencies of the fabric of buildings, landscapes, public ways, and the social interactions that shape them.
