__________________________________________
Application Process 
Candidates should initiate the
admission process in the year prior to their enrollment. The University
uses a rolling admission process that enables applications to be reviewed
as they are received. Although the University uses a rolling admissions
process, candidates are encouraged to apply by March 1st to receive
priority consideration for a departmental assistantship. International
students must apply to the University by April 15th to be admitted for the
Fall semester. Typically, incoming graduate students in the City and
Regional Planning program begin their studies during the fall semester.
Admission for either Spring semester or part-time studies is possible, but
is highly discouraged due to the sequential nature of the core curriculum.

Academic Standards
Students come from a range of disciplines
such as architecture, political science, sociology, civil engineering,
urban affairs, economics, geography, environmental science, psychology,
landscape architecture, business, history, English, and communications. The
Department of Planning and Landscape Architecture has the same academic
standards as the Graduate
School. The
department prefers that students achieve at least a 3.0/4.0 in their
undergraduate studies. While the department does not have a minimal
standard for acceptance with the GRE, the department sets a goal of
prospective students achieving 1050 (450 Verbal, 600 Quantitative) and
4.5/6.0 on Analysis. International students are expected to have at least a
600 TOEFL score, in order to compliment the GRE standards. On occasion, students
who do not meet the minimum expectation in a given requirement have been
admitted when they have demonstrated professional experience or exceptional
capacity for the planning profession.
