Overview
Students at the Master of Science in Urban and Environmental Design at the University of Kentucky explore the history and theory of urban and environmental design, develop visualization and graphic representation skills, and examine strategies for creating sustainable communities.
A studio-based curriculum highlights the importance of collaboration with diverse stakeholders and relationships between theory and practice. Elective courses examine community planning, research methods, and policy-based solutions.
MUED inspires social and economic sustainability
Students choose from one of three concentrations: 1) Town Design, Main Streets and Rural Communities; 2) Sustainability, Adaptability and Resilience; and 3) Urban Systems (e.g., Urban Ecology, Data Analytics and Infrastructure Design). The program is open to candidates with or without design backgrounds. Students without formal design training will be required to take an introductory design studio sequence as a prerequisite. As the complexity of design challenges within the built environment grows, the need for diverse teams of professionals and community members dedicated to addressing these challenges also grows. With an MUED from the College of Design, students will have the skills and knowledge to inspire visions of social, economic and environmental sustainability at multiple scales using innovative principles and techniques for effective community design
