Jiyoon Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Hi all, Does anyone know what's the US master's degree in Urban Planning ranking? Specifically, more for research and smart city. I wonder what's UW's reputation on this. Many thanks in advance! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityplace_uptown Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 The "professionally respected" rankings are found in the Planetizen Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs (you have to buy the book/PDF to see past the top ten). That said, don't focus on explicit ranking as there really isn't much difference between, say, the #5 and #15 programs. Instead, the most helpful part of the guide is the stats they post for each individual school, they're pretty comprehensive and in combination with school location should help you narrow down what you want. Can't comment on research output or informatics specifically (check the Guide for faculty publications and concentrations ?) but UW is well-regarded in the general planning field, it was top-15 in the 2017 version of Planetizen. Also definitely poke around on the program website and Linkedin for job placement — see if the grads end up in positions and locations you like.

tetsuoka Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Harvard, MIT, and Berkeley are the most competitive programs by a wide margin Jiyoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
