This Planning – Accelerated Master’s Program at University of Arizona allows eligible students enrolled in the B.Arch and Sustainable Built Environments degree programs to begin working toward a second professional degree–a Master of Science in Planning–as early as the third or fourth year. The M.PLN can usually be completed within three semesters of attaining the B.Arch or SBE degree.
Subsequent to being admitted to the Accelerated Master’s Program, architecture students in their fourth and/or fifth years begin to take graduate courses in their preferred planning curriculum. Twelve of the graduate units earned may be used to count toward both degrees, i.e., these units will meet the B.Arch or SBE upper division open elective requirement.
