"In 2016, I was grateful to have had the opportunity to complete the Dual MPA/MUP program at the University of Louisville. The Urban Planning and Public Administration program provided me with a strong foundation of technical and soft skills that have proven to be invaluable in my career in economic development and urban planning.

Thanks to this program, I was able to take my career to the next level!" - Josh Staten MPA/MUP 2016
