Overview

Our fully accredited programme uses Colorado as our classroom to engage in real-world, experiential learning opportunities and interact with planning and design practitioners and the community.

We seek diverse students who share our passion for social justice and fostering healthy communities, regional sustainability, and equitable urbanism.

Key Facts

We believe that successful city-building requires expertise, breadth, interdisciplinary understanding, and creativity. As part of the Urban and Regional Planning Department, our programme looks beyond traditional professional silos and instead centers on issues at the forefront of planning practice. Our three programme Pillars—Healthy Communities, Equitable Urbanism, and Regional Sustainability—form the basis of our research, instruction, and community outreach.

We encourage all students to follow their passion and develop expertise in the areas that matter most to them. Thus, we offer a unique, self-directed elective curriculum that allows students to understand the breadth of the planning field while gaining the technical expertise demanded by the profession.

Our world-class faculty includes some of the most respected researchers in the planning field, and our award-winning planning practitioners bring a wealth of experience to the classroom. All of our faculty make teaching a top priority.
