Thank you for your interest in the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Seven degree options are offered (see list below) in architecture, urban planning and urban design, which will prepare you for a career in professional practice, teaching, or research.
In addition, joint/dual degrees allow you to design an individual curriculum which meets the requirements of two programs without overlap in subject matter and permits reduction of one-sixth the total credit hours normally required for both degrees. You must apply separately to each program. It is also possible for students to initiate dual degrees with other disciplines.
