Throughout the years, the Institute has grown to offer undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and postgraduate programs, with an interdisciplinary emphasis on urban and territorial problematics in Chile and Latin America.
In 1967, the first Masters program was offered in the Institute (Master in Urban Development), followed by a second Masters program (Master in Human Settlements and Environment) in 1987. In 2004, the PhD program in Architecture and Urban Studies was created, a joint program with the School of Architecture.
More recently, the undergraduate program in Urban Planning was created (2014) with admission through College UC, and with articulation to the Masters in Urban Development (MDU) for the graduation process.
The latter is complemented by a wide range of Post Professional Programs (since 1995), which has managed to expand the scope of offerings, ranging from citizen participation and urban planning instruments, to real estate management, housing policies and environmental planning.
In addition to the curricular offerings, the Institute has a long history in research and publications in its main research lines: Planning and Governance, Urban and Territorial Processes, Sustainability and Territory.
