Program Description

The Master of Urban Planning (MUP)-JD program from NYU Wagner and NYU’s School of Law will prepare you to become a leader, tackle a broad range of challenges, and deliver social change. Whether you see yourself pursuing public interest law, writing legislation, or running an agency or organization, you’ll find the focus you need through our full-time, four-year, dual-degree program. You’ll walk away with a vast toolkit of analytical skills, ready to lead programs and institutions that create a positive impact. NYU Wagner's Master of Urban Planning degree core requirement include five courses:

  • CORE-GP 1011 Statistical Methods
  • CORE-GP 1018 Microeconomics
  • CORE-GP 1020 Management & Leadership
  • CORE-GP 1021 Financial Management
  • URPL-GP 2660 History and Theory of Planning

The students in the MUP degree program complete the MUP core courses and choose one of two specializations: City and Community Planning or International Development Planning. Students usually complete both degrees in four years. As a graduation requirement, students must complete an end event, the year-long Capstone project and course. Over one academic year, students work in Capstone teams with faculty oversight to address challenges and identify opportunities for a client organization or to conduct research on a pressing social question. Capstone begins during the final fall semester.
