Welcome to the University of Arizona Planning Program

If you are interested in the profession of Planning I hope you will investigate the MS in Planning Program here at the University of Arizona. Our program is fully accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board offering you a range of concentrations that you prepare you for the world of work in a growing and very important profession.

The Planning Program is located in the School of Landscape Architecture and Planning. The bringing together of these two professions presents exciting opportunities for us as we build on the traditional strengths of the Planning Program along with new opportunities in the college .
