Established in 1971 and fully accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board since 1986, the MURP program admits an annual class of around 50 and offers a unique, self-directed curriculum emphasizing hands‐on experiential learning, public engagement, and applied research.

The program is led by a core team of full-time professors who, along with numerous adjunct faculty composed of some of the nation’s top professionals, deliver a curriculum that features community-engaged class projects, studios, capstones, and thesis projects.We leverage our faculty’s extensive expertise and our state-of-the-art facilities to provide students with intensive instruction in tools for visualization, mapping, graphics, and modeling, and offer a popular certificate in geospatial technologies. Well‐established dual degree offerings combine the MURP with the Juris Doctor (JD; CU Boulder), Master of Applied Geography/Geospatial Sciences (MA-AGGS), Master of Architecture (MArch), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA), Master of Public Affairs (MPA), Master of Public Health (MPH; Anschutz Medical Campus), and the Master of Science in Historic Preservation (MSHP). The MURP program maintains a very active Alumni Association (MURPAA) with alumni across the globe. College of Architecture and Planning
The mission of CAP is to ignite evolution that enriches places for people and the planet.

Led by Dean Nan Ellin, who is also a member of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, CAP maintains several partnerships with universities in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, and houses multiple research centers and initiatives including the campus-wide CityCenter, a new approach to community-university partnerships which matches faculty experts and university resources with civic and community leaders to catalyze positive change and develop innovative solutions to the toughest challenges facing the Denver metro area.
