Master of Urban Planning - Urban Analytics

Currently, Urban Analytics or similar data science directions are not formal specializations in the MUP program at UW but students can apply for the individualized specialization and benefit from one of the best data science universities on the earth. If you prefer to do so, I highly recommend you review basic calculus, probability, linear algebra, and programming before the beginning of the first year. Here is the example curriculum for the urban analytics track. BTW, you can move some required courses to the second year to balance your workload.

First Year: Autumn

• URBAN 500 Survey of Urban Planning 4
• URBAN 520 Quantitative Methods in Urban Design and Planning 4 (Waive if you have a statistics foundation)
• URBAN 527 History, Ethics, Form, and Theory 4
• CSE 583 Software Development for Data Scientists 4
• STAT 509 Introduction to Mathematical Statistics 4

First Year: Winter

• URBAN 501 Comprehensive Planning and Implementation 4
• URBAN 506 Planning Studio Prep 3
• URBAN 528 History, Ethics, Form, and Theory 4
• URBAN 573 Digital Design Practicum 4 (Waive if you have a design background)
• CSE 414 Database Systems 4

First Year: Spring

• URBAN 507 Urban Planning Studio 5
• CSE 512 Data Visualization 4
• URBAN 522 Urban and Regional Geospatial Analysis 4 OR CEWA567 Geospatial Data Analysis with Python 4

Second Year: Autumn
