Graduate Programs

The professional Master of Urban and Regional Planning program is a two-year course of study that prepares students with essential knowledge, tools, and skills to understand and improve the physical, social, economic, health, environmental, and cultural conditions of neighborhoods, cities, and regions. 

It makes the most of our ecologically diverse, multinational metropolitan region as a living studio where students can learn to address urgent problems of our time in collaboration with communities and professional planners.

Graduates will be prepared for professional planning roles in public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.

The interdisciplinary PhD program in Urban Studies and Planning prepares graduate students to take on leadership roles in urban studies and planning research and education, in order to address central civic, environmental, and planning challenges of the future.

The program makes the most of UC San Diego's location in an ecologically diverse, multinational region, and our faculty's distinctive research expertise in questions of social and spatial justice, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and multinational planning.
