Curriculum
The curriculum for the MUCD program emphasizes design investigations at various scales. The program seeks to create an environment in which students can study the myriad forms of community and human habitat; understand how past designs can inform future possibilities; and harness the knowledge and skills necessary to create ecologically sound urban environs. Empirical research, coupled with techniques of analysis and visualization strategies, serve as methods of inquiry to understand the complex 21st century urban landscape. The program will provide opportunities for students to participate in a variety of faculty led research projects developed in concert with the SACD’s research unit, the Florida Center for Community Design and Research (FCCDR). The program will also associate with the newly founded USF School for Global Sustainability (SGS).
