SPPA’s Master of Urban and Regional Planning (URP) program prepares students to be professional planners who make positive changes to communities, cities, and regions. Our vision is to promote inclusive human settlements in which economic development, environmental sustainability, and social justice jointly contribute to prosperity, resilience, and the quality of life from local to global.
SPPA's Master of Public Affairs (MPA) program educates future leaders in public and nonprofit sectors who can solve the most pressing economic, social, and environmental problems humanity is facing in the 21st century. Taking advantage of campus-wide resources and interests in public policy at a world-class research university, our MPA students excel both academically and professionally.
