BAUSP Senior Year
A BAUSP student admitted to the 4+1 program is expected to enroll in the first-year MUP core courses in their senior year, although they are not yet admitted to the MUP program. Typically, a 4+1 student will take a senior workshop (4 hours), as required by the BAUSP program, plus the five first-year MUP core courses:
UP 501: Planning History and Theory (Fall)
UP 503: Physical Planning (Fall)
UP 504: Urban History and Theory (Spring)
UP 505: Urban and Regional Analysis (Fall)
UP 511: Law and Planning (Spring)
The MUP core courses meet the BAUSP requirements for UP electives and planning-related electives.
In the senior year, 4+1 students wishing to complete the MUP degree will formally apply to the MUP program, submitting a full application package including recommendations and transcripts. At the end of the senior year, the 4+1 student is qualified to graduate with the BAUSP degree, having met all the requirements of that program.
BSSD Senior Year
Please see the BSSD 4+1 program page for more information on the BSSD 4+1 curriculum.
MUP Program Year
Once admitted to the MUP program, a 4+1 student must take 32 hours of graduate courses, 20 of which must be UP courses. These courses include the capstone requirement (8 credit hours). Up to two MUP core courses may be included among the 32 hours. If more core courses are needed, then correspondingly more than 32 hours will be required for the MUP degree. The 32 hours of graduate courses is a minimum requirement for the MUP degree; it cannot be reduced by UP 590 internship or course waivers. Please refer to the MUP Program page for more general information about the program.
