Each student must first be admitted to either the MBA program in the Faculty of Business or the MSc in Urban and Regional Planning (two-year stream) in the  Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. After completing the first year of the program, students are eligible to apply to the combined MBA/MSc in Urban and  Regional Planning program. 

To apply for the combined MBA/MScURP degree, students apply directly, via email, to the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ School of Business Master’s and Executive Education Office. There is no application fee. The entrance requirements for the combined program are different than the standard admission requirements to the MBA program. To apply, students would need to submit:

• A completed application form
• A resume outlining professional and volunteer experience
• Transcript of completed undergraduate degree and any in-progress academic transcripts, if applicable

Once you have these items complete, please email them directly (from your U¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ email address) to mbaadm@ualberta.ca.

After submitting your application, a member of our admissions team will conduct a first review. Qualified applicants will then be sent a request to complete our initial interview. The initial interview is a video interview via Kira Talent that includes four verbal response questions and one written response question. After completing the initial interview, successful candidates will be invited to complete a second and final interview, in-person, with a member of the Admissions Committee.
