The dual degree leads to either a master of city and regional planning or a master of city and regional studies degree in urban planning and policy development and a master of science degree in agricultural economics. Students are accepted independently for each graduate program after separate application. Students must meet the degree requirements of each program; however, with proper course selection, 9 credits of course work from each program may be applied to the other degree, thus reducing by one and one-half terms the length of time required to obtain the two degrees.
