UCLA School of Law and UCLA's Urban Planning Program provide a combined curriculum for students pursuing both a Juris Doctor and Master of Urban and Regional Planning degree, ideal for those focusing on legal dimensions of urban challenges. The urban planning curriculum gives students a comprehensive understanding of theories and methodologies for addressing city issues, while legal education provides perspective on systemic causes and potential solutions. Typically, one to two students enroll in this program annually.
Two globally recognized institutions—Sciences Po's Urban School in Paris and UCLA's Urban Planning Department in Los Angeles—have established an innovative dual master's degree program. This elite initiative combines the exceptional resources and specialized instruction of both leading programs in urban studies, policy, governance, and city planning.
Sciences Po's Urban School is distinguished for its focus on metropolitan governance comparisons worldwide, political economy, urban policy sociology, civic engagement, planning practices, and urban social dynamics. It employs cross-disciplinary social science methods to examine urban transformation, climate challenges, digital urbanization, policy development, and community involvement.
