Community and Regional Planning-MCRP

Masters in Community and Regional Planning

The Department offers work for the Master of Community and Regional Planning (MCRP) degree with areas of concentration in land use and transportation, community design and development, and rural and environmental planning. In addition, students can design their own area of concentration if it does not fit in any of the three areas, with the assistance of their major professor. The program of graduate study is accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board of the American Institute of Certified Planners and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning.

Double degree programs are offered with architecture (MCRP/M.Arch), business (MCRP/MBA), public administration (MCRP/MPA), and landscape architecture (MCRP/MLA). The department also participates in the interdepartmental major in transportation.

The department also offers a 13-credit graduate certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in spatial analysis, GIS applications and program management. The program is open to graduate students in all disciplines of the University. Information for the graduate certificate may be obtained from the department office at the GIS web page.
