    "In the MURP program I not only gained an interdisciplinary understanding of urban policy and mechanics but also built a great network of policymakers, academics and leaders from the non-profit and private sectors."

    Research Associate
    Dukakis Center for Urban & Regional Policy

    "The faculty in the MURP program are unmatched in their talent and knowledge of urban policy. You could not ask for a more highly respected and well-connected group of professors to guide you throughout this two-year program."
