SCARP – School of Community and Regional Planning – announces:

Master of Arts (Planning) Master of Science (Planning)

SCARP is now offering a new opportunity for graduate work that can be completed in as few as 12 months. The restructured Master of Arts (Planning) Master of Science (Planning) (MAP/MSCP) is a thesis-based research program of study, which is differentiated from SCARP’s accredited, professionally oriented Master of Community and Regional Planning (MCRP) and is intended to provide learning opportunities for:

• practicing professionals who want to strengthen their research skills;

• those with undergraduate planning degrees from accredited programs;

• students (with or without a master’s degree) interested in eventually doing doctoral research;

• and applicants wanting to work closely with a faculty member to undertake graduate-level study leading to a non-accredited, research-based master’s degree.

The MAP degree requires 34 credits including a 12-credit thesis, over twelve to eighteen months.
Students in the Master of Arts (Planning) program will have a Bachelor of Arts undergraduate degree, and must complete a theory course, a general methods course, a research seminar and at least one 3-credit course in qualitative methods for research in another UBC department.

The MScP degree requires 34 credits including a 12-credit thesis, over twelve to eighteen months.
Students in the Master of Science (Planning) program will have a Bachelor of Science undergraduate degree, and must complete a theory course, a general methods course, a research seminar and at least one 3-credit course in quantitative methods for research in another UBC department.

Application deadline is February 1st (accepting applications for fall 2017) For additional information please visit www.scarp.ubc.ca
