SUMMARY:Master of Urban Planning in Urban Design Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the Spitzer School's post-professional program for 
 students with architecture or landscape architecture backgrounds: Urban D
 esign (Master of Urban Planning aka MUPUD). This session will include a w
 elcome by Dean Marta Gutman\, a program overview by Professor Julio Salc
 edo-Fernandez\, discussion including student and alum perspectives\, and Q
 &amp\;A.\n\nPanelists:\n\n 	Amy Ho UD '25\n 	Yuriko Jewett UD '18\n 	Marcu
 s Wilford UD '18\n\nThis is a virtual event\, taking place on Zoom.\n\n\n
 Zoom registration is required.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Urban Design program is ce
 ntered on participatory urbanism\, the premise that only a combination of 
 leadership\, technical\, and design skills will lead to meaningful change 
 in the way we think\, plan\, and construct our built environments. Buildin
 g on the leadership of the late Michael Sorkin\, the program is specifica
 lly designed to foster new conversations in response to our urbanized plan
 etary crises and provide transformative alternatives that radically reimag
 ine our cities as equitable\, diverse\, resourceful\, and ecologically nim
 ble.\n\nCurriculum\n\nMUPUD fuses research\, design\, advocacy\, and leade
 rship in unique and trans-disciplinary ways. Students and professors work 
 together to define questions\, propose solutions\, and disseminate their f
 indings by bringing together technology\, practice\, and activism in diffe
 rent strengths and scales across the program’s year-long “design think
  tanks.” We have deep links and interests in both the Global North and G
 lobal South\, as well as across the emerging economies of the East. The sp
 ring studio typically includes a study trip to a far-flung urban site to b
 oth learn from and tackle challenges in a different context.\n\n 	Total pr
 ogram credits: 45\n 	Per-semester courseload: 15 credits (4 classes)\n\nTh
 e program is designed to be completed in three full-time\, sequential seme
 sters (fall\, spring\, fall). For students who desire a longer course of s
 tudy\, it is possible to distribute the credits over up to two academic ye
 ars/four semesters.\n\nAdmissions\n\nOur next priority deadline is in Janu
 ary 2025 to begin studies in Fall 2025. Please see the instructions on our
  Graduate Application Instructions page. Applicants to the Urban Design p
 rogram should hold a professional degree in either architecture or landsca
 pe architecture. Applicants from other backgrounds will be considered only
  in exceptional circumstances and on demonstration of a high level of desi
 gn ability.\n\nSTEM Designation\n\nThis MUP in Urban Design program is lis
 ted within the U.S. government’s official STEM fields list\, meaning gra
 duates with F-1 visas may be eligible for U.S. work authorization for up t
 o three years. See the STEM OPT Hub for more information.
