How to Apply

Undergraduate Applications

There are two entry paths into our Bachelor of Urban and Regional Planning program. The traditional pathway is by applying to both Ball State and the Estopinal College of Architecture and Planning and taking a common first-year of classes in CAP before choosing your major. The alternative pathway is by taking PLAN 105 and PLAN 100. Both pathways require good grades and a portfolio submission before entry into the BUPD program.
