The Master of Urban Innovation (MUI) is a 20-month professional master’s program for students interested in urban issues and economic development. The program is uniquely designed to provide a new generation of practitioners with an in-depth understanding of the role that innovative, vibrant, liveable, and supportive city-regions play in sustaining the quality of life and economic well-being of Canadians.
Through the MUI program, students will be trained to lead and manage innovative urban economic development initiatives. Students will take classes taught by faculty with expertise in economic development, public policy, management, government administration, and finance. In addition, each student will participate in an academically supported and practice-oriented summer internship that will provide them with an opportunity to apply foundational knowledge and ideas in the workplace. The program will prepare graduates to play a critical policy and leadership role in implementing strategies that promote innovative, equitable, and sustainable cities and city-regions.
