DUAL DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS

Community and Regional Planning offers five dual degrees in partnership with other graduate programs, giving students an opportunity to supplement their planning degree with additional knowledge, skills, and expertise.

Two options are offered with other programs within the School of Architecture:  the dual degree in Sustainable Design and the dual degree in Urban Design.

Three options are offered with other programs on campus: the dual degree in Latin American Studies with the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies, the dual degree in Law with the School of Law, and the dual degree in Public Affairs with the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. 

DUAL DEGREE ADMISSIONS

In order to enroll in a dual degree program, students must be admitted to both programs of interest. It is recommended that prospective students review the detailed requirements for the dual degree they are interested in and then contact the relevant Program Director. To apply for admission to a dual degree program, an applicant must select the correct dual degree on the application, follow the application instructions for each degree program, and meet all application deadlines for each degree program. If an applicant is not admitted to the dual degree program, he or she may be offered admission to an individual degree program.
