Master of Science in Urban Planning Dual Degrees

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) or a Master of Real Estate Development (MRED) 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. 

MS Urban Planning/Master of Real Estate Development

The dual MRED/MS Urban Planning degree is designed for students who are interested in the development of sustainable built environments through the practices of responsible real estate development and urban planning. Students need to be admitted to each program independently, and are able to complete this dual degree in just five semesters.

MS Urban Planning/MS in Water, Society, and Policy

The MS Urban Planning/MS in Water, Society and Policy dual degree provides space to explore and gain expertise in water science and resource management, sustainable urban and regional planning and the application of technology to address key water-related challenges facing society.


Applying to Dual-Degree Programs

You must apply and be admitted to each program individually to undertake dual-degree graduate studies at UArizona.
