Programs

The Department trains practitioners in planning and development and prepares scholars for advanced research and teaching. The Master in City Planning (MCP) program is the largest degree program at DUSP, accepting 55-60 new students each fall. Under special circumstances, admission may be granted to candidates seeking a one-year Master of Science (S.M.) degree. Approximately 12 PhD candidates join the Department each year. Finally, DUSP also sponsors an undergraduate major, offering a Bachelor of Science in Planning, as well as the opportunity for two different undergraduate minors.

While the intellectual life of the Department is organized around particular program areas, and students are asked to select an area of specialization, there is a great deal of room for cross-over and flexibility in individual student programs.
