City and Regional Planning & Law – Dual Degree (MCRP/JD)
A Cooperative Program with Georgia State University
The Planning Law dual degree:
The Planning Law dual degree:
The dual MS degree program in Public Policy and City and Regional Planning prepares students for policy analysis and planning work at the national, state, and local levels. Graduates work in public, private, and non-profit settings building on the complementary perspectives and skills of the two professions.
In addition to providing interdisciplinary professional training, the dual degree also provides the opportunity to step toward Ph.D. programs in either Public Policy or Planning with an emphasis on Urban, Environmental, or Economic Development Policy.
Transportation Planning/Transportation Systems Engineering The dual Master of City and Regional Planning and Master of Civil Engineering/Master of Science with a major in Civil Engineering degree program is designed to meet the need of planning agencies and transportation departments for staff who combine expertise in city and regional planning and transportation systems engineering. The program consists of coursework in city and regional planning, transportation systems engineering, and transportation planning.
The dual Master of Architecture and Master of City and Regional Planning degree program trains those who wish to engage directly in the process of city building. The program is intended to meet the needs of planning agencies, consultants, institutions, and architectural firms for graduates who can deal competently with the complexities of urban areas.
The Doctor of Philosophy with a Major in City and Regional Planning prepares students to serve in a range of settings such as universities, planning consultancies, research and development firms, government agencies, and advanced practice.
Focus: preparing students to excel as professionals capable of understanding and resolving complex urban planning problems through a curriculum that gives students a broad understanding of the urban and regional environment as well as a foundation of skills needed to plan for this environment.
The School of Modern Languages offers minors in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish as well as in Russian Studies. This program is designed for students who wish to develop their language skills to at least an intermediate level and to provide themselves with a greater depth than possible with a certificate program.
The School of Chemistry and Biochemistry provides many courses that are of interest to students from the Schools of Biology, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering, and students pursuing pre-health tracks. These students develop greater interest in chemistry while taking these courses and the proposed minor provides a means to enhance their knowledge in a structured and documented manner.
Focus: advancing knowledge and multidisciplinary research in areas such as biomolecular structure, molecular biophysics, computational and theoretical chemistry, materials chemistry, nanochemistry, bio-organic chemistry, photochemistry and photobiology, polymer chemistry, sensors, and environmental chemistry.
