As is true for all graduate course work, acceptance of any course for credit towards your Program of Study and graduation requires the approval of your Committee. Please speak with Rome faculty and with your Advisor to consider how the Rome program will fit with your Masters program. The 'Rome Contact' for your program can explain the courses/program offerings and direct you to the most appropriate opportunities.

 

To use the Rome program to contribute towards your thesis work, you will want to work with your Major Professor and a Rome faculty person to develop your research proposal before you go to Rome. Opportunities exist in Transportation, Development, Environment, and Land Use.

Graduate students can take 6 credits in Summer 2006 in Rome. Nine credits would require cooperative arrangements with faculty and work outside the period that classes are held. Internship arrangements are a possibility, although we do not expect to have paid positions available for Summer 2006.

 

As the MCRP program assumes that the student will have their thesis/professional report proposal in development over the Summer of the first year, the program would be most appropriate for students in the following research areas:

            Land Use and Transportation

            Environmental Planning and Design

It may be possible to accommodate students in other areas, depending on individual arrangements with faculty in Ames and in Rome.
