The metropolitan design certificate at the College of Design prepares students with the essential knowledge and understanding of the city within the complexities of the 21st-century metropolis. As suburban development is losing some of its past seductions, traditional cities are being transformed to accommodate the return to city living, an American counter-trend that requires the integrative approach of many fields of knowledge. The certificate is open to graduate students in the College of Design and graduate students from other colleges with related urban planning programs are welcome to apply. The certificate is a two-semester, 21-credit course sequence within existing master's degrees at the College of Design. It is strongly recommended that the required urban design courses should be taken in sequence. Interested students should enroll during the second semester (spring) of graduate studies. It is recommended that students make a decision to enroll in the certificate early so that the completion of courses can be made within the time required for completion of the professional degree.
