Students who are interested in earning a Master of Science in Urban Planning degree from the University of Arizona have the opportunity to earn a Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) or Master of Science in Water, Society and Policy degree concurrently, in less time than it would take to earn each degree separately.
MS Urban Planning/Master of Business Administration
A dual MBA/MS Urban Planning degree is available for students interested in business and development, green building, land and resource use, and regional planning. Interested candidates can begin their first year in either the Eller College of Management's MBA or our MS Urban Planning program but do need to be admitted to both programs independently. Students earn both degrees in three years. If completed separately, most students would finish in four years.
