Through this program SPA offers Urban and Regional Planning students exposure to professional planners through a coordinated mentoring program. The goal of the program is to match student planners with experienced, local planners who share similar planning interests with the student. Both the student and the practicing planner learn from each other, and the experience often leads to career contacts. The program has been in development for over a year now and is still taking shape. The studio courses offer practical, usually real world planning projects, in which knowledge gained in the theoretical courses is used to produce prescriptive plans or plan elements.
Students usually work in teams, sometimes with students from related disciplines.
A great variety of projects are undertaken so that students have a choice of subject area and instructors. Following are the individual home pages of URP students.
