Bachelor’s degree (typically 4-year) in planning, architecture, civil/environmental engineering, geography, public policy, environmental sciences or related fields.
Minimum GPA: applicants should have a 3.00 / 4.0 GPA in their bachelor’s—this is the threshold for graduation in the program.
GPA conversion: Indian percentage or CGPA must be converted to a 4.0 scale (e.g., 75% ≈ 3.0). This is important for US admissions.
Coming from a relevant bachelor’s background in planning, architecture, or engineering strengthens your application—if your degree is in another field, highlight transferable coursework or work experience.
