Urban Planning (MA)
Trinity College (CT)
Description
The master’s program in urban planning provides students with professional training and expertise in urban planning. The curriculum will meet the American Planning Association’s Planning Accreditation Board (PAB) standard to teach “students the essential knowledge, skills, and values central to the planning profession.” Graduate students in Trinity’s newest program will help address issues that cities face now and in the future. “In the Greater Hartford area, we have transportation issues, housing issues, environmental issues—all of these are addressed in our courses,” he said. “Also crucial is that we look at community development and inequality, giving people grounding in what creates those situations, and giving them useful tools in planning for the transportation future.”
