Hi Everyone! I am thinkinf on applying to SCAD for its urban design master, but havent really heard much about its reputation. Does anyone here has gone or goes to MUD? what references could you give me? I am between SCAD, pratt and university of miami.
Thanks a lot!!!
For Urban Design or Urban Planning you’d be better off choosing a program that is accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board (PAB). Of your three choices, I believe only Pratt’s program is accredited. Pratt’s degree is Master of Science Architecture and Urban Design (MS AUD) not an MUD.

Are you currently holding a BArch or an MArch? I believe a professional architecture degree is required for admissions to the University of Miami’s MUD program and Pratt’s MSAUD program. Not sure about SCAD.
Since planning is closely allied with architecture you might post on CC’s architecture career board.
