Our distinctive program emphasizes studio-based, practical, hands-on education. Over the two-year curriculum, learners collaborate with government agencies, non-profits, and Indigenous communities to tackle real-world planning challenges. The City Planning graduate program provides two degree completion paths - one culminating in a Capstone Project, the other in a ThesisPracticum. All participants must complete five mandatory core courses plus two from a selection of optional courses. Capstone Stream students need to take two electives, while ThesisPracticum students can choose electives that align with their research focus.
To qualify for the Master of City Planning program, you must have a minimum of:
A four year bachelor's degree from a university recognized by the Faculty of Graduate Studies

IELTS: A minimum score of 7.0 on the Academic Module
TOEFL (iBT): A minimum score of 94
TOEFL (Paper Based): A minimum score of 580
