Welcome to our online source of information for the Doctoral
Program in City and Regional Planning in the School of Design
at the University of Pennsylvania. Here you will find information
about our outstanding faculty, their research interests,
teaching, and professional activities; the expectations and
requirements of the Program; and profiles of our Ph.D. students
and graduates.
The University of Pennsylvania is an intellectually stimulating
environment in which to study the serious problems that face
our metropolitan areas today and the broad spectrum of responses
to meet those challenges. Students enrolled in the Ph.D.
Program have easy access to a broad, multi-disciplinary faculty
and all the resources of a first-rate urban research university.
The Ph.D. program in the Department of City and Regional
Planning (CPLN) is one of the oldest in the country, dating
back to the 1950s. Our respected faculty has guided almost
several hundred students though their graduate studies to
the completion of their dissertation, enabling our graduates
to assume positions of leadership in both planning academia
and the planning profession. Please check out who they are
and what their dissertation research was about in the "Doctoral
Graduates".
Students who matriculate in the doctoral program are governed
by general University policies for the doctoral degree, which
are contained in such documents as those promulgated by the
Graduate Council of Faculties (see University's
Graduate Catalog and the Online Graduate Catalog,
especially the Rules and Policies section) and the Regulations
of the School of Design.
We expect students to familiarize themselves with the policies
very early in their academic careers
