Testimonials

"The MSD program create a platform for me to achieve my dream and opened up my view into a wider range of career opportunities."

"I didn’t have clear understanding about sustainability until I took the program in 2014. The instructors coming from various disciplines with international experience give you plenty source of information about climate change around the world and how to solve the issues. The Singapore - Groningen field trip is one of the best experiences I ever had to learn about sustainable cities. Thanks to the program, I met a lot of great people from different backgrounds and now currently working together with the Jakarta Smart City and Indonesian government implementing better planning solution for the city along with NGOs and privates. Go Gators!"

"This multi-discipline program offered me a great opportunity to learn from faculty members and peers from diverse backgrounds. I was exposed to new research fields and skills, which inspired me to continue my education at UF."

"The MSD program was an extremely distinctive program – from the structure of the curriculum to multiple campus workshops and to the unique field trip abroad for the entire cohort. As a low-residency student and one who also maintained a full-time career while in the graduate program, I appreciated the intensive 3-semester structure that supported my lifestyle and schedule. The education and experiences were second to none, and my graduate degree has allowed me to explore other avenues of design and contribute to my community, specifically making it one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the United States."
