Events: Join Georgetown University for a Webinar to Explore Its Master’s in Urban & Regional Planning

Join Georgetown University for a webinar on Thursday, January 30, 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. The webinar will be from noon to 1 pm.
