MA-URPL - Urban Planning Major (M.A.)

Trinity College’s master of arts in urban planning gives those who are planning a career in urban planning and those already working in the field the tools and skills needed to succeed as town and city planners or as policy specialists. The 12-credit program provides students with a thorough knowledge of basic urban planning principles and values, qualitative and quantitative skills, and diverse research methodologies. The curriculum is designed to meet the American Planning Association’s Planning Accreditation Board (PAB) standard to teach “students the essential knowledge, skills, and values central to the planning profession,” and is suitable for those who are planning a career in urban planning and those who are already working in city or town planning offices around the capital region or as urban policy specialists in local government.
