The Pakistan Council of Architects and Town Planners (PCATP) has granted 2-year accreditation to BS City and Regional Planning (BS-CRP) program which is being offered by the School of Architecture and Planning at UMT. The 4-year undergraduate professional degree program was launched in Fall Semester 2014. Its zero visit by the PCATP was successfully conducted and NOC was timely granted.
