The MS in Environmental Policy and Planning , offered through the Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning (UEP) at Tufts, prepares you to be part of a new generation of leaders– ‘practical visionaries’ – who will contribute to the development and promotion of inclusive, sustainable and just communities. A nationally accredited urban planning program, the program is distinct from many other planning and policy programs by having a strong social justice focus. UEP is a community of practicing scholars and experienced practitioners. Our faculty, students, and alumni are public-spirited individuals committed to engaged processes and just outcomes for cities, communities, and ecosystems.
Full-Time Track - The MA program usually takes two years of full-time study. The program requires completion of twelve or thirteen courses (36-39 credits) plus a thesis or capstone exam for a minimum of 42 credit hours.
Part-Time Track (domestic applicants only) - The part-time track allows working professionals to work full-time while attending some of their courses during the evening, online, and/or weekends, allowing completion of the program within three years. Requirements are the same as full-time study. Some required courses are only offered during the business day; please consult the upcoming semester’s course schedule for the most up-to-date information.
