Dual Masters Degree in Urban Design

The Dual Degree in Urban Design is an intensive program of study for architects, leading to the simultaneous award of the Master of Architecture and the Master of City and Regional Planning. This interdisciplinary program, concluding with professional degrees in two fields, creates expanded career options. These include traditional architecture, planning and landscape architecture firms, as well as design and planning positions in public agencies, real estate development organizations and non-profit organizations. The Dual Degree Program is administered by a faculty committee composed of faculty in both the Architecture and City and Regional Planning Programs.

Application Information

All applicants must apply separately and be accepted by both the Architecture Program and the City and Regional Planning Program. Frequently, students in the dual degree program begin in one or the other and enroll in the dual degree program after they are here. Admission to one degree program does not mean one is automatically accepted by the other. The Dual Degree Program in Urban Design requires the Graduate Record Examination and requires a portfolio.

Information regarding financial assistance for graduate studies at Georgia Tech, including loans, scholarships, assistantships and the Graduate Co-Op Program, is available from the College of Architecture, the Architecture Program and the City and Regional Planning Program websites.

The application deadline is January 15 for admission the following fall semester.
