| Prerequisites Notes | An undergraduate cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 is required for application. Because admission to our M.Urb program is competitive, successful applicants often have substantially higher CGPAs than the minimum requirement. Competition for our graduate diploma is less intense and can be a stepping stone to a future M.Urb application. We welcome applications from students with a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds. While many of our students hold an undergraduate degree in the social sciences that is directly relevant to the study of cities, we have also admitted students with academic backgrounds in the humanities, sciences, engineering and fine arts, especially when they have urban-related academic, professional or community experience.

| Description | The diploma requires students to complete 24 units of URB courses, which usually means six courses. Students may substitute one or two graduate urban courses from other departments, with permission of the Urban Studies Program. There are no required courses and students do not complete a research project. Students enrolled in the diploma may later apply to transfer to the master's program. The diploma may be completed in three semesters (two courses per semester), or one calendar year, if pursuing studies full-time. For part-time studies, six semesters (one course per semester), or two calendar years, is typical.
