Sample Non-Departmental Electives

UPPP offers a wide range of courses that MURPs may choose to satisfy some elective requirements. In addition to these options, many classes offered outside of the department are relevant to urban and regional planning and may be approved for elective credit toward the MURP degree.

If you are considering taking an outside elective, contact the MURP Assistant Director, Jorge Padilla (j.padilla@uci.edu) for details of the approval process.
