The Master of Planning is a first professional degree at the masters level. It is a course-based degree, which means no research thesis is required. The curriculum incorporates the breadth of Canadian Institute of Planners accreditation requirements and is fully accredited.

The two-year curriculum is expected to be completed in four (4) consecutive terms. The curriculum is structured around four (4) required core studios. These studio courses are "full" or six-unit courses and must be taken in the required sequence of one studio per term. For this reason, all applicants admitted to the MPlan must start in the fall term.
