Master of Community and Regional Planning 

The master's program in community and regional planning (MCRP) trains policy-oriented planners for leadership positions in the public, non-profit and private sector.  The program differs from public policy programs primarily in its focus on spatial issues including but not limited to building form and land use.  The program is ideal for students seeking a challenging education with an emphasis on both the long-term principles and practical skills necessary for a professional career.
