Concurrent and Joint Degrees

Students enrolled in the Master in Urban Planning (MUP) program can apply for a concurrent degree at the GSD, a joint degree with Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government (HKS) or Law School (HLS), or a dual degree with the T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH). The minimum full-time residency for obtaining concurrent degrees is one academic year more than the residency requirement of the longer of the two programs. Current students admitted to a second program must, upon admission to the second program, contact the relevant program coordinators to work out an approved plan of study.
