Departmental Policies
Admission to the master of urban planning progam at UB is competitive, and applicants are reviewed according to the admission criteria. Acceptance of students in the preprofessional, professional, and postprofessional programs is determined on the basis of the applicants' academic qualifications and related experience. However, since the school's size is limited, the admissions committees may exercise discretionary powers of selection.
Courses and programs offered by the School of Architecture and Planning may include an instructional technology fee. The separate fee paid by all students in the School of Architecture and Planning gives them exclusive access to the school's state-of-the-art computing facilities. These facilities have been structured around our students' special needs: high-end statistical computing and database management, computer-aided design and drafting, geographic information systems (including real-time, three-dimensional simulation), large format color plotting and printing, #D printing, and 3D scanning.
