Master of Planning
Introduction
The School of Planning provides a professional planning education
at the graduate level. The program is recognized by the Canadian
Institute of Planners. Many graduates of the program become
professional planners working for private firms or for government.
Others will find that the education builds on undergraduate
specialization by providing a solid foundation for careers in
related spheres such as international development, environmental
protection, or urban design.
The School provides a collegial and cooperative working atmosphere for students and faculty. Class sizes are moderate (from 10 to 25 students) and lend themselves to a great deal of debate and discussion. Our approach to education is community-based (often involving projects done in cooperation with community groups) and studio-oriented (with learning occurring in a project-based context).
Full time graduate students are given work spaces in the School and are represented on decision-making bodies within the Faculty. Students may apply for scholarships and assistantships within the School.
We share a large historic building with the School of Architecture. Students have access to all the Faculty's technical services. These facilities include audio-visual resources, model building, photography and computer labs, and a wood-working shop.
