Master of Science in Urban Design: MSUD. The MSUD is a post-professional studio-focused degree program for acquisition of the skills of a practicing urban designer. A prior professional degree is required in either Architecture (B.ARCH or M.ARCH), Landscape Architecture (BLA or MLA), City and Regional Planning (MCRP or equivalent) or Civil Engineering (BSCE). The ability to draw plans and places is necessary and assessed through portfolio submission. The MSUD is intended to be a twelve-month program with Fall and Spring semesters in Atlanta plus an international summer travel semester.
Dual Degree of MCRP + MArch Program.The Dual Degree, resulting in the M.ARCH and MCRP Degrees, focusing on Urban Design has been an active program in the College of Architecture since 1969. The dual MCRP and M.Arch degree seeks to educate those who wish to engage directly in the process of city building. The program is intended to meet the needs of planning agencies, consultants, institutions, and architectural firms for graduates who can deal competently with the design complexities and dynamics of urban settings. Dual degree graduates would extend their capacity of professional practices to both fields. The curriculum is comprised of the core requirements for each of the two professional programs and, in addition, a set of dual requirements that focus upon urban design as a common ground linking the theory and practice of the two disciplines. While most students will elect to follow the urban design concentration, other concentration areas are possible, subject to the approval of both schools.
