Overview

Program Description The Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) Program at the University of Colorado Denver has evolved to become one of the strongest planning programs in the United States. UCD offers a hands-on, real-world oriented program that uses Colorado as the classroom and engages students with top planning/design professionals and the community. UCD believes that successful city-building requires expertise, breadth, interdisciplinary understanding, and creativity. The program looks beyond traditional professional silos and instead centers on issues at the forefront of planning practice. Its three program Pillars—Healthy Communities, Equitable Urbanism, and Regional Sustainability—form the basis of research, instruction, and community outreach. UCD encourages all students to follow their passion and develop expertise in the areas that matter most to them. Thus, UCD offers a unique, self-directed curriculum that allows students to understand the breadth of the planning field while gaining the technical expertise demanded by the profession. The world-class faculty includes some of the most respected researchers in the planning field, and the award-winning planning practitioners bring a wealth of experience to the classroom. All of UCD's faculty make teaching a top priority. UCD's presence in a College of Architecture and Planning ensures that the approach to planning education has a strong connection to design, and the location in the heart of downtown Denver presents students with endless opportunities to learn what it takes to create amazing cities.
