URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING / 155 Catlin; J. Milliman; J. C. Nicholas, E. M. Starnes; J. M. Stein; W. L. Weismantel. Associate Professors: R. H. Schneider; O. F. Wetterqvist. Associate Research Scien- tists: M. T. Brown; P. D. Zwick. The College of Architecture offers a program leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in architecture. Areas of specialization within this program include architecture, building construction, and urban and regional planning. I The Department of Urban and Regional Planning offers graduate work leading to the degree of Master of Arts in Urban and Regional Planning (M.A.U.R.P.). Students are encouraged to enter the program in the fall semester. The program is usually completed in two academic years. The student entering with an undergraduate degree and no graduate study must complete 52 hours of credit for the M.A.U.R.P. degree. Students who have earned graduate credit in related fields in the University of Florida may transfer up to 18 semester hours toward the 48 hour requirement. Such a transfer of credit requires the ap- proval of the Department. The Department encourages students with any undergraduate degree who are inter- ested in the field of planning to apply for admission. Applications for admission must be received 90 days prior to the beginning of the semester during which the applicant wishes to enter the program. The Registrar's Office will notify applicants of acceptance at least45 days before the semester begins. The Department will notify applicants of rejection at least 45 days before the semester begins. The urban and regional planning curriculum is de- signed to provide a set of core studies and contextual projects which prepare the graduate for the practice of planning in public or private agencies. The core studies include history and theory of planning; plan making and growth management at local, regional, and state levels; design for planners; and related studies in community and regional social, natural, and economic systems. Contex- tual projects include, among many subject areas, urban design, special district planning, regional planning, community redevelopment and preservation, housing, real estate, and economic development. The program emphasizes planning, policies, and design for the physi- cal environment. Students are also encouraged to take advantage of the extensive faculty, course offerings, and other resources available in the College of Architecture and throughout the University. The curriculum is supported by adequate studio and individual study space in close proximity to architectural and landscape architecture laboratories, an extensive computer laboratory, and a visual aid library. Variation from the core studies may be approved by the Department if the student can demonstrate education and experience to the faculty which would support such an alternative. The M.A.U.R.P. degree is recognized by the Planning Accreditation Board, a joint undertaking of the American Institute of Certified Planners and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning, for having achieved the highestapplicable standards for graduate education in the field of planning. Graduates of the Department are pre- pared to practice urban and regional planning. The Department of Urban and Regional Planning and the College of Law offer a concurrent degree program. Admission to the joint degree program must be simultane- ous. In addition, the Department along with the Depart- ment of Architecture offers a specialization in planning and community conservation. Areas of concentration with other programs in the Graduate School may be developed to meet the individual needs of students. In addition to course work the student is required to complete a noncredit internship with a public or private planning office and the student must complete a thesis or terminal project. The department reserves the right to retain student work for purposes of record, exhibition, or instruction.
