The dual degree program confers the Master of Science (M.S.) degree from the School for Environment and Sustainability and the Master of Urban and Regional Planning (M.U.R.P.) degree from the College of Architecture and Urban Planning. The program provides students with the analytical skills, theoretical and scientific foundation, and socio-behavioral understanding to become effective practitioners. Potential career fields include, but are not limited to, environmental or land use planning, open space preservation, environmental policy analysis, and environmental justice. Rackham Graduate School Guidelines allow dual degree students to double-count one sixth of the total credits normally required to complete both programs. Students may integrate the 48 credit-hour M.U.R.P program with the 42 credit-hour M.S. program (totaling 90 credit-hours) into a 75 credit-hour/three year program, with 15 credits double-counted.<br><br>The Environmental Justice program at SEAS is at the forefront of the field's teaching, research, scholarship, and advocacy. By recognizing the interconnectedness of societal and biophysical factors, we advance both sustainability and human rights. SEAS was the first school in the United States to launch an Environmental Justice program that offered undergraduate and graduate degree specializations, and our campus is now home to one of the largest clusters of the field's faculty and students nationwide.
