The Graduate Center for Planning and the Environment (GCPE) provides a professionally oriented education to a student body with diverse cultural, educational, and professional backgrounds. Using a multidisciplinary approach, GCPE teaches participatory practice as the best way to support and advocate for just, equitable communities. Students graduate equipped with the knowledge of theory, technical capacity, collaborative skills, and radical critical thinking abilities necessary to preserve and plan for ethical, healthy, resilient, and inclusive communities.
A unique alliance of four graduate-level programs with shared values placed on urban sustainability and community participation, GCPE programs are defined by commitments to social justice. Each of the four master's programs — Historic Preservation, Sustainable Environmental Systems, Urban and Community Planning, and Urban Placemaking and Management — maintains its own degree requirements and research expertise. However, GCPE students may take courses from any of the four programs to explore cross-disciplinary interests and even pursue an Advanced Certificate in a second discipline. The result is that students are empowered to create a unique and multifaceted degree specialization and gain valuable cross-disciplinary insights from peers and faculty.
