Overview

Coordinating the course sequences allows students to complete both degrees one year sooner than required if both degrees were completed separately. Length of the program depends on student’s previous academic background. For students with an undergraduate major in architecture this would be 3 years, rather than 4. For students with an undergraduate major other than architecture, this would be 4 years, rather than 5.

Why Earn The M.Arch+Mup?

There are many reasons—practical, historical, and theoretical —why a combined study of architecture and urban planning is both intellectually and professionally beneficial.

Practically, students with expertise in both architecture and planning are highly marketable, as they bridge two complementary disciplines. Graduates of the Architecture and Urban Planning program of the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee are able to choose the direction of their careers, depending on personal inclination and opportunities.

Graduates may choose to work at the building scale in a conventional architectural firm, work at the neighborhood, city or regional scales in a public planning office or private consulting group, work in real estate or project development, or work in an urban design consulting group. Whatever direction the graduate chooses, they will come into contact with issues that cross the fuzzy line between planning and architecture.

Students in the M.Arch+MUP will be required to learn both urban planning theory and architecture theory. In doing so, these students will have the advantage of understanding the differences and the overlaps.
