  1. Undergraduate course in research methods/statistics, or equivalent
  2. Undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0/4.0 in the last two years of coursework
  3. Two recommendations assessing potential for successful graduate study
  4. Personal statement describing academic and work background; reason for selecting graduate study in this degree program, and particular interests/skills (including technological skills; eg computer programs with which you are familiar - GIS, web page, etc.) you would bring to the program.

Admission to the program on a provision basis may be approved for applicants with a GPA of at least 2.6 in the last two years of coursework and who demonstrate special circumstances and potential. Absence of specific undergraduate coursework in urban studies or statistics will result in the assigning of deficiency coursework which must be completed before graduation.
