UMass Amherst
This dual degree program is one of only a handful in the nation. Students will spend two semesters of full-time study in each program, dividing remaining coursework between the two programs. The MArch and the MRP core curricula focus on the theoretical, historical, cultural, environmental, and technical dimensions of their respective disciplines with intensive studio and skill training, applicable to a wide variety of design issues and with opportunities to serve nearby communities. The dual degree program offers a rich educational experience in many areas of design and planning, including sustainable development, with access to and training in the use of information technology and other new tools and techniques (e.g., GIS, LEED, Environmental Modeling, etc.).
