Requirements

Exchange students from Hunter must be pursuing a degree in Urban Studies or Urban Planning. Due to the limited spots available in the program each semester, exceptions are very rare. Exchange students typically take four modules (courses) per term, with a minimum of two modules in the Bartlett School of Planning. Exchange students may apply for courses in other departments but cannot be guaranteed a space as this depends on availability. Students may choose modules from any of the three years offered.
