The Urban and Regional Planning Program is part of the Rackham School of Graduate Studies, which is the overall administrative unit for Graduate programs. Rackham works in conjunction with 17 schools and colleges to recruit applicants, administer the admissions process, and serve students through the final stages of degree attainment.
Admission to the Urban Regional Planning Ph.D. is normally limited to the fall term. (In exceptional situations, the doctoral admissions committee may also consider applications for admission to start the program in the winter term.) Normally, only four to five new students can be admitted each year. This number represents a small percentage of those applying for admission.
