The Department of Urban Affairs and Planning (UAP) offers two undergraduate degrees, the B.A. in public and urban affairs and the B.S. in environmental policy and planning, as well as minors under both degrees. At the graduate level the department offers the master of urban and regional planning and the master of public and international affairs degrees.

B.A. in Public and Urban Affairs

The B.A. in public and urban affairs (PUA) is an interdisciplinary social science degree with a professional cast. It aims to educate students broadly in the liberal arts tradition while equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and analytical thinking used in planning and policy analysis. Students learn to address the economic, environmental, social, and governmental consequences of growth and change and to help resolve the problems that emanate from them.

Students are able to focus on one of five concentrations:

Public and Non-Profit Management
Urbanization: Planning and Policy
Public Policy
Global Development
Environmental Affairs

The latter four concentrations are shared by one or more of the majors offered by the departments in the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA). SPIA departments include UAP, Political Science, Geography, International Studies, Public Administration and Policy, Science and Technology Studies, and Agricultural and Applied Economics.

The 120 credit hour curriculum in Public and Urban Affairs has 66 required hours, including 39 hours in the core, 12 hours in designated university core courses, and 15 hours in the student's area of concentration. This leaves 54 hours for the student to fulfill other university core requirements (maximum of 21 hours) and for free electives (minimum of 33 hours). The curriculum includes four areas: core in major, remaining university core, free electives, and area of concentration.

B.S. in Environmental Policy and Planning

The B.S. in environmental policy and planning (EPP) provides students the opportunity to study environmental problems and their solutions from an interdisciplinary perspective involving humanities, natural and social science, planning, and public policy. While rooted in scientific and technological fields, environmental problems and their solutions increasingly deal with public values, economics, law, policy, and planning. The EPP curriculum, while providing a broad liberal arts and natural and social science base, has a pre-professional slant involving analytical and communication skills and policy and planning methods to prepare students for employment and graduate study.

The curriculum draws from courses in 20 departments in five colleges, and is held together by ten UAP classes including two capstone courses. The required hours include fourteen course "bundles" in which students select from a group of courses. The curriculum includes 120 total credit hours, of which 98-99 hours (including all University Core requirements) are required and 21-22 hours are free electives.
