Completing requirements for both degrees, students are prepared for professional careers in both urban planning and architecture.

Coordinating the course sequences allows students to complete both degrees one year sooner than required if both degrees were completed separately. Length of the program depends on student’s previous academic background. For students with an undergraduate major in architecture this would be 3 years, rather than 4. For students with an undergraduate major other than architecture, this would be 4 years, rather than 5.
