Core Courses
Four core courses are required of all students, including Advanced Planning and Design Theory, Research Design, Contemporary Metropolitan Planning Issues, and a course in advanced analytical methods to be taken outside of the program. An additional fifteen credits will prepare students in their fields of specialization.
The precise field courses are to be selected based on the student's own background, areas of interest, and career plans, in conjunction with the advice and approval of his/her faculty mentor. Three courses will be selected from the student's major field and two courses will be selected from the student's minor field. The minor field must be (1) related and supportive of the major field, and (2) selected by the student and faculty mentor together.
