Admissions

To get an exceptional education in urban and regional planning, you must be part of a gathering of great minds who plan in community-focused, multidisciplinary ways. As part of the University of Michigan, Taubman College offers you an unmatched breadth of opportunity to become a leader who plans for and engages with communities for the greater good.

The Urban and Regional Planning Program encourages qualified applicants interested in any or all aspects of urban and regional planning to apply to its accredited graduate programs. The admissions committee is looking for intelligent, enthusiastic, dedicated, and thoughtful students. We encourage you to explore our website and contact us with any questions you may have. In the meantime, our Urban and Regional Planning admissions viewbook (PDF) offers a glimpse into the college and provides an overview of our programs. Effective for 2022 applicants and beyond, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores are no longer required nor considered for admission to all graduate programs at Taubman College.
