Master's in City Planning Accreditation

The objective of SDSU's Master's of City Planning (MCP)Program is to provide graduate students with the knowledge, specialized skills, and professional experience to creatively  engage in problem-solving and in the practice of urban and regional planning in public policy contexts; and to equip them with the skills and techniques that will enable them to assume effective, ethical leadership roles in  the field of planning. The program provides the opportunity for students to engage in a wide range of field-based education through an interdisciplinary set of courses. It fosters mutual learning through a participatory experience that emphasizes  academic excellence, sound professional preparation, ethical conduct, with an emphasis on working in the  public interest. MCP students prove to be successful as evidenced by their placement into careers working in city planning and related fields, particularly in the San Diego region.
