This program equips you with the technical knowledge, strategic thinking, and collaborative know-how to plan for socially equitable, culturally diverse, sustainable neighborhoods, cities, and metropolitan areas that exemplify resilience even in unpredictable times. Since its inception 50 years ago, the City and Regional Planning program, offered at the School of Architecture on the Brooklyn campus, has remained true to its emphasis on an education that stresses practice over theory, participatory planning over top-down policymaking, creativity over boilerplate, and advocacy over technocracy. Pratt's accredited Master of Science in City and Regional Planning requires 60 credits. The schedule of classes allows students to enter in fall or spring, and complete their studies in two or two and a half years. To promote specialized or interdisciplinary study, half of the credits are in elective seminars and studios. While by no means required to do so, students can focus on one of six particular professional specializations, corresponding to the program's areas of strength. Virtually every student is assured an opportunity to take an internship, and four out of five students do so.
