Postgraduate
The department has been offering Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) since 1968, allowing graduates from both BURP and non-BURP backgrounds. The program trains the graduates to specialize in different planning fields and serves as a stepping stone for advanced research and Ph.D. Students with a BURP background have to complete at least 36 credit hours by courses and thesis/project for the MURP degree. Students without a BURP background are usually required to earn 12 extra credit hours as prerequisites.
Ph.D. program in the department has been introduced in 1996. To expedite the development of research and investigation in the field of planning and to create the opportunity of higher study in planning field within the country, this program was initiated. The Ph.D. degree requires a maximum 45 credit hours of research works, and also some prerequisite course works, if recommended by the doctoral committee of the department. A limited number of fellowships are available for both local and international students for both MURP and Ph.D. program.
