The restructured Master of Science in Planning is a thesis-based research program of study, which is differentiated from SCARP's accredited, professionally oriented Master of Community and Regional Planning (MCRP) and is intended to provide learning opportunities for:
practicing professionals who want to strengthen their research skills;
those with undergraduate planning degrees from accredited programs;
and students (with or without a master's degree) interested in eventually doing doctoral research;
to undertake graduate-level study leading to a non-accredited, research-based master's degree. |
