While the MUP program at the GSD is by no means defined by its numbers, metrics can help illustrate the strengths of the program. We expect to add to the information on this page, so check back if you don’t see your question answered here.
| Student Achievement |
| We look at a 3-year average of graduate satisfaction. A 2022 survey of MUP alumni graduating one year previously found 95% were pleased or very pleased with their planning education at the GSD. Alumni surveyed from the classes of 2020 and 2019 were 92% pleased or very pleased with their education. For those surveyed in 2022, 2021, and 2020 who had graduated 5-years previously, 94% were pleased or very pleased with their education. The MUP program surveys alumni from two time periods each year—1 year out and 5 years out. |
