Planetizen 2009 Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs (Urban Planning Schools)

In addition to the list of the top 25 programs, the 2009 Guide also features a list of the top planning programs according to educators and practitioners by region, tuition, financial aid, and academic specialty.

With detailed profiles of 100 programs in the U.S. and Canada, the 2009 Guide is the most thorough and comprehensive resource covering master's degree programs in urban planning, and is an essential tool for anyone considering graduate study in urban planning and closely related fields.

Profiles of current graduate students and professional planners give prospective students an insider s view of the industry, helping them find the best school to meet their needs, along with advice on graduate school applications.

To produce the 2009 Guide, Planetizen enlisted the help of the professional opinion research firm Davis, Hibbitts, and Midghall, Inc. to survey hundreds of professionals, educators and students.

First published in 2006, the Planetizen Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs has
been widely praised by prospective planning students as being the single most important tool used in deciding which schools they would attend.

This new edition of the Guide includes even more information previously unavailable to prospective planning students. In addition, Planetizen consulted with a special committee of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP) to ensure that the 2009 edition met the expectations of students, planning programs and faculty.
