Anyone done it? Know what the program is about, etc? I'm kind of interested in it, have been for the past 5/so years. What department would this be under at State?

I have a good friend studying this at Clemson and they apparently have a very respectable program. At NCSU, you will most likely find planning under the Master's in Public Administration. It is probably a concentration. NCSU MPA website: http://www.chass.ncsu.edu/pa/

Good luck

no planning major

you'll have to do the MPA, like ^^said............they have an urban management specialization

this is actually the path i'm taking to get into city planning

^ I love that city. It's one of my families favorite vacation spots and we usually stay at the Charleston Place. We were actually down there for a week last month after graduation.

Thanks everyone for the advice! This is something I've been toying with for the past couple of years as I don't think I want to do Engineering my entire life.

closest planning department is at UNC

For general managment, look at an MPA. No one at NC State specializes in urban planning methods.

There's an agreement between NCSU and UNC that lets you get a master's of City & Regional Planning (from UNC) and a master's of Landscape Architecture (from the NCSU COD). IMO, you should have a little bit of a design background to be a good planner.

There's also an all-online 12 or 15 credit hour planning certificate program at Ohio State (or maybe Ohio). I've been thinking about doing it. It takes a year and most of it will transfer to UNC.

There's also talk of UNC-Charlotte starting a masters of planning program in conjunction with their architecture school. But idk when/ if that will happen.
