About the course

In this program you will gain the perspectives and skills needed to plan and implement equity-building improvements for neighborhoods, cities, and metropolitan areas. Pratt?s accredited Urban and Community Planning (UCP) program gives students perspectives and skills to plan and implement equity-building improvements for neighborhoods, cities, and metropolitan areas. We teach participatory practice as the best way to advocate for just, equitable communities, with an emphasis on making transformative change through creativity, innovation and advocacy. Pratt?s MSUCP requires 50 credits. The schedule of classes allows students to enter in fall or spring, and complete their studies in two years. To promote specialized or interdisciplinary study, half of the credits are in elective seminars and studios. Students are encouraged to take electives and interdisciplinary advanced studios from the three sister programs of the Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment to customize a course of study that suits their academic and professional goals.
