      PhD Programs in Urban Planning

      An urban planning program can be an excellent way for students to learn all about the management of a city’s growth. It might include a wide variety of subjects ranging from zoning ordinances to economic development along with public policy, civil engineering, and funding requirements.

      The USA remains the world’s most popular destination for international students. Universities in the US dominate the world rankings and the country also offers a wide variety of exciting study locations. State university systems are partially subsidized by state governments, and may have many campuses spread around the state, with hundreds of thousands of students.

      Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
