Master’s students in City and Regional Planning are members of the American Planning Association and the South Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association. Being a part of these professional organizations provides our planning students with the opportunity to network with professionals in their area of interest. Students are not only encouraged to attend state and national conferences for networking, students are encouraged to attend to stay abreast of current planning issues.
