*About the Doctoral Program in Planning at UNC *
The doctoral program provides training in substantive theory and
research methods that enable graduates to knowledge and scholarship in
planning, to formulate and evaluate innovative public policy, and
manage
research programs in domestic and international contexts. The program
is highly selective and individualized. It is ideal for mature
students
from a variety of backgrounds. Most doctoral students will have had
previous graduate training and work experience in planning or a related
field.

Over 100 women and men have earned Ph.D.s in the program since its
inception in 1961. About sixty percent are faculty members in research
universities. The others are engaged in challenging careers in
domestic
or international agencies or in private consulting and research firms.
Twenty percent work outside of the United States or are engaged in
multinational projects. Our Ph.D. graduates include department chairs,
deans, officers of national academic and professional organizations,
and
many well published scholars.
