Join Georgetown University for a webinar on Thursday, January 28, to find out how its Master’s in Urban & Regional Planning will prepare you to solve the critical challenges facing urban communities around the world.

Ideal for working professionals, the program offers options for full- or part-time participation and classes held on weekday evenings, so you can earn your degree without interrupting your career. You’ll learn from industry scholars and practitioners in the classroom while developing your skills outside of class through applied problem-solving, international travel, independent research, and networking events. Upon completing the program, you’ll have the industry knowledge and leadership skills needed to effectively and responsibly shape the communities of tomorrow. Sign up here.

We’re sharing this event through a sponsored listing agreement with Georgetown University. We offer this advertising option to organizations holding relevant programs in the greater Washington region. Sponsored listings help fund our work, while also spreading the word about opportunities to learn more about urbanism. See the full list of GGWash sponsors online.
