The Master of Science in Urban and Regional Planning is designed to prepare students for leadership roles and careers in the public and private sectors for the purpose of planning and designing communities and regions.

The Klesse College of Engineering and Integrated Design’s downtown location in San Antonio is composed of several historic layers from the 17th century to the present, making the program a perfect laboratory for the in-depth exploration of creativity, professions, and research.

This degree is in collaboration with the Department of Public Administration in the College for Health, Community and Policy. The program offers two specializations – Urban Policy, and Urban Design – though students may graduate as generalist planners with no prescribed specialization. The program’s primary focus is to prepare students to become practitioners in the planning profession and takes an interdisciplinary perspective on understanding modern urban challenges.
