The Department of City and Regional Planning is one of four academic units within the School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy. Our 48-credit Master's program in City & Regional Planning equips students for professional roles focused on community development and its intersection with social, economic, and environmental factors. This program holds full accreditation from the Planning Accreditation Board. Our Mission ...is to cultivate future generations of passionate urban planners and researchers, produce policy-shaping scholarship, and collaborate on groundbreaking local planning initiatives. The program's motto aims to encourage planning students to think imaginatively – viewing planning not just as technical work but as a creative pursuit. We strive to motivate students, community stakeholders, and planning professionals to believe we can overcome the imperfections and inequities in our communities – that transformation is achievable with vision. Every individual brings distinct views about what constitutes an ideal urban environment.
