Overview

Key facts

The Urban Design program at Georgia Institute of Technology is a STEM-accredited program, oriented to those who wish to expand upon their previous professional education and professional experience and to enter urban design practices either in private firms or public agencies.

The one-year, three-semester MSUD curriculum equips students with the skills to practice urban design in today’s marketplace and the knowledge and vision to tackle global challenges in redesigning and adapting our cities and suburbs for the 21st century.

Students with professional degrees in architecture, landscape architecture, city planning, and civil engineering bring their expertise to MSUD collaborative studio projects while learning the core historical, legal, environmental and dimensional knowledge fundamental to the practice of urban design.

The emphasis of urban design at Georgia Tech is threefold: to build a culture of collaboration linking requisite knowledge and expertise across fields of architecture, planning, landscape, and engineering; to enable analysis of complex problem sets occupying nebulous zones beyond the limits of a single building, owner, or site; and to facilitate the design of integrated and implementable solutions, whether comprised of structures or systems; of policies, processes, or plans.
