Master of Planning Studies
Introduction
The Master of Planning Studies program offers professional planners an opportunity to enhance their education while conducting advanced research in planning under the supervision of a faculty member in the School of Planning. The program may be completed in one year of full-time study, or up to five years of part-time study. Students must complete at least one winter semester in full-time study at Dalhousie University.
The program will appeal to candidates with a solid grounding in the fundamentals of planning who have earned an undergraduate degree and wish to pursue graduate studies with a research focus. We welcome candidates with questions they want to explore in an academic setting under the supervision of a Dalhousie faculty member.
