Our fall open house is very informal and is designed to help you become familiar with our master’s program in urban and regional planning. E-mail notices for the open house are sent approximately 2-3 weeks in advance, so if you would like to receive an e-mail reminder before the next open house, please call 319-335-0032 or e-mail us at urban-planning@uiowa.edu.
