ADMISSIONS
The Master of Urban Design (MUD) Admissions Committee is currently accepting applications for the Fall 2012 semester. The program does not allow admission to the program in any Spring semester. Although the MUD program has a rolling admission process, the priority deadline is March 15, 2012. Applications will be reviewed on a space-available basis until June 30, 2012.
IMPORTANT: The MUD is the only urban design program in the country with WICHE-WRGP status, which allows any student from the following fifteen states to pay resident tuition, significantly lower than non-resident tuition. Qualifying states include: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. For details, contact Dr. Jeremy Nemeth, Director of the MUD program.
Pre-professional students can enter the MUD with advanced standing by first earning a professional Master's degree in the College of Architecture and Planning. For more information on the MArch + MUD, MLA + MUD or MURP + MUD, contact Rachael Thompson, Coordinator of Student Recruitment and Enrollment.
