"UEP is a unique program in the way it integrates students and faculty from a wide variety of backgrounds in the social and environmental fields. This gives students the opportunity achieve a comprehensive education in policy and planning. UEP is provides students with the knowledge necessary to achieve their goals in a highly interdisciplinary world."

DEGREES

We offer two graduate degrees in public policy and planning. You can study for an accredited master of arts (M.A.) degree in urban and environmental policy and planning or a master of public policy (M.P.P.) degree.

Quantitative Prerequisite:

Students admitted to UEP (both the M.A. and M.P.P.) are required to show evidence of basic algebra and graphing skills prior to registration in the fall of their first year. A score of 550 or above on the quantitative section of the GRE is sufficient to satisfy this requirement. Those students who scored below 550 or did not take the GRE are required to have completed a college algebra or equivalent course within the five years prior to entry into the UEP program.
