Specialized Land Use Curricula in Urban Planning Graduate Programs

Frank Westerlund

Results are presented from a survey of North American graduate plan ning programs to assess curricular specialization in land use planning. Documentation studied included cat alogs, program descriptions, and syl labi for courses identified as part of a land use specialization. Of the sample of fifty-seven schools, 65% have declared such a specialization, with a mean of ten land use-related courses offered. A typology of course types emerged, as a basis for summarizing the survey data and comparing the programs. The survey is presented as one source of evi dence useful in designing appropri ate subcurricula in land use, along with information about current professional practice.
