Academics

Our department offers a Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning, a certificate in Planning Information Analysis Systems, Sustainable Design, Historic Preservation and other certificates throughout the University of Florida that are offered on the Gainesville campus or through distance learning. Students are also encouraged to participate in concurrent degree programs within the colleges of Design, Construction and Planning and with the Levin College of Law and the Transportation Engineering in the Department of Civil and Coastal Engineering in the College of Engineering. We also participate in the College’s Ph.D. Program. Undergraduate students may also be admitted to the program at the beginning of their junior year.[RS6]

The department faculty endeavors to organize areas of planning specialization to enhance the program’s curriculum and to increase the department’s research opportunities.

Our department offers a graduate minor which is designed to allow students from other related disciplines to learn about the basics of the Urban and Regional Planning profession.
