Degrees & Programs

Student working at the GeoPlan lab.

Paul Wiseman

The college is made up of six academic units. Four of the six offer undergraduate degrees and all academic units offer graduate degrees. Individual schools/departments offer distance education programs, combined degrees, dual degrees, certificate programs, and academic minors. For degree descriptions and related academic unit links, select a degree program from the main menu.

Undergraduate students who wish to enroll in graduate-level courses for a master's degree have an opportunity to do so through a combined degree program. Simultaneous study on an individualized basis leading to two master’s degrees in two graduate programs or two master’s degrees in the same major is also called a concurrent degree program and is available in all academic units. All the academic units of DCP offer joint degree opportunities which are handled on a case-by-case basis. The School of Architecture, the Rinker School of Building Construction, and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning offer certificate programs. The Rinker School of Building Construction and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning offer graduate minors. Undergraduate minors are offered by the Departments of Landscape Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning. Minors at the doctoral level are also available.
