Master of Urban Design
The University of Michigan's Master of Urban Design Program relishes the challenges of and opportunities for designing cities. With cross-cutting concern for place, culture, economics, history, and theory, the program capitalizes on the global experience of faculty and students to prepare graduates to be leaders in shaping urban environments across the world. The program is intense, studio-focused, and far-reaching, emphasizing travel, reading, and design projects that engage metropolitan areas such as New York, Chicago, Detroit, Portland, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and with an international study option extending to countries such as India, Italy, Ghana, China, and Germany. The global city, and the post-industrial city, the town and suburban sprawl are all subjects for study and design, taking advantage of the program's location in one of the most diverse urban regions in the heartland of the United States. The University offers some of the most extensive international study opportunities anywhere.
Michigan's graduate degree in urban design is open to students who have already earned a professional degree in architecture, urban planning or landscape architecture.
The one year of study culminates in a Master of Urban Design (M.U.D.) degree.
