Course Offerings and Joint Degree Programs

Overview | Summary Table | Sample Syllabi

The degree to which ACSP Planning Programs engage the intersection of Planning and Public Health varies widely. These planning programs are divided into four tiers:

Tier 1 includes Colleges and Universities whose faculty have a public health specialization.
Tier 2 includes planning programs that offer a course connecting planning and public health disciplinary topics and in most cases cross-listed between both school units.
Tier 3 includes planning programs that offer such a course and opportunities for students to concentrate coursework at this intersection and/or earn a certificate upon completion of an approved curriculum.
Tier 4 includes planning programs that offer items from Tiers 1, 2 and 3 in addition to an opportunity for students to earn a joint degree in planning and public health.

Below is a list of planning programs in each of these tiers with links to the respective school or department website, class descriptions and syllabi, and descriptions of their joint degree offerings if available electronically.

This list was generated in fall 2009 through a compilation of information available in the ACSP Guide to Undergraduate and Graduate Education in Urban and Regional Planning (15th Edition) [PDF], the Planetizen Guide to Planning Schools and the webages of ACSP Planning Programs.
