Overview
The nationally accredited Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning program at Tufts University, it is distinct from many other planning and policy programs by having a strong social justice focus.
Tufts UEP graduate students learn to engage and confront the social and environmental challenges in today’s world of rapid urbanization. Students gain skills through academic coursework, applied projects, work experience, and individual research.
Students can choose to study either full-time or enroll in the part-time track for working professionals, attending courses during the evenings and on weekends.
Master of Arts (M.A.) in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning
Our accredited M.A. degree in Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning requires completion of twelve or thirteen courses (36-39 credit hours) plus a thesis or capstone exam for a minimum of 42 credit hours. The M.A. program usually takes two-years of full-time study. Students may also enroll in the program on a part-time basis. Our M.A. degree is awarded through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
Master of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Policy and Planning
Students interested in careers in policy, science, and research in the environmental sector may want to consider the M.S. degree in Environmental Policy and Planning.
