This arrangement with the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of Pennsylvania allows a student to earn an A.B. degree with a major in the Growth and Structure of Cities at Bryn Mawr and a degree of Master of City Planning at the University of Pennsylvania in five years.
While at Bryn Mawr, the student must complete the College Seminars, quantitative, foreign language, and divisional requirements as well as the basis of a major in Growth and Structure of Cities. The student applies to the Master of City Planning program at Penn in her sophomore or junior year. No courses taken prior to official acceptance into the Master of City Planning program may be counted toward the master's degree, and no more than eight courses may be double-counted toward both the A.B. and the M.C.P. after acceptance.
For further information, students should consult Gary McDonogh, Director of the Growth and Structure of Cities Program, early in their sophomore year.
