The Sustainable Design curriculum also examines the role of design, technology, public policy, and environmental practices in developing resilient communities and cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">The Sustainable Design concentration provides students with the opportunity to engage in specialized investigations that confront twenty-first century environmental, social, and economic challenges. A graduate of the program will understand the positive impact of sustainability policy, and actively engage with development and planning of the built environment, natural systems, and societal issues. The program emphasizes the role of sustainability and regenerative practices on contemporary urban issues and the future of cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">The program welcomes applications from both research and practice-oriented candidates and prepares students for careers as sustainability experts in design, construction, real estate, and as resilience officers and other sustainability roles in corporate firms, government, academia and not-for-profit organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-5-color has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dcp.ufl.edu\/citylab\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2021\/04\/MSAS-SD.pdf\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><strong><span style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Curriculum<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-5-color has-ast-global-color-8-background-color has-text-color has-background has-text-align-left wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dcp.ufl.edu\/architecture\/graduate-program-application\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><strong><span style=\"color: var(--ast-global-color-5)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Apply<\/span><\/strong><\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\"><strong>DEADLINES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-8-color has-text-color\">Applicants to the Master of Science in Architectural Studies (MSAS) degree programs are reviewed application twice yearly.
