Students who wish to complete a MUPD degree in addition to the MHP may take advantage of the accelerated MUPD option, with approval of the MUPD Coordinator, a signed and approved program of study is developed for those student who qualify for a “waiver” consideration.

 

The minimum number of credit hours that must be taken under any waver option is 32, including the thesis or non-thesis option. The required courses for the accelerated option are:

  • PLAN 6520: Environmental Planning and Design Studio (Large Scale) 4 hours
