*Course may not be used to meet both core and concentration requirements.
**Refer to the CPLN concentration details in the Penn Catalog and/or the MCP program website for information about which and how many concentration courses are needed. Note: for the 2021-2022 Academic Year, the MCP program website supercedes the Penn Catalog if any details between the two sources do not align. For this reason, please be sure to reference the MCP program page.
Notes:
1. 15 CPLN course units are required for the MCP degree under the PAB accreditation.
2. Due to the special scheduling required for HSPV dual-degree students, in which there is an academic year that requires 5.5 CUs in one semester and 4.5 CUs in the other semester, no additional tuition charges are assessed for the 10 academic year CUs needed in this situation. However, students who choose to take more than 10 CUs will be subject to Weitzman’s regular overload tuition policies.
The dual degree in City Planning and Historic Preservation at the Weitzman School of Design allows students to enroll in the Master of City Planning and Master of Science in Historic Preservation degrees at the same time and earn both degrees in three years.
Both the Master in City Planning and Master of Science in Historic Preservation degree programs are STEM-designated.
A total of 27 CUs (15 from City Planning + 12 from Historic Preservation) are needed for the dual degree program. Both degrees are awarded in the same term, when requirements for both programs have been completed.
