Cal Poly’s City & Regional Planning Graduate Program Ranked No. 2 in the Nation
SAN LUIS OBISPO — Cal Poly’s City & Regional Planning (CRP) graduate program was ranked No. 2 in the nation for 2015 by Planetizen, an information exchange for the urban planning, design and development community. The ranking is for graduate programs at institutions that do not offer a doctorate degree.
“The continued high ranking for our planning program is due to our emphasis on plan making and implementation and courses in which students learn to do planning in real communities,” said William Siembieda, interim CRP department head. “We are leaders in the teaching of development and design, environmental and climate adaptation planning.”
The ranking is part of the fourth edition of the “Planetizen Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs,” which ranks the top 25 programs nationally.
Among all programs, including those with doctorate degrees, Cal Poly was ranked No. 21 in the nation.
Cal Poly offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees in city and regional planning.
