Students may get credit toward the master of city and regional planning (M.C.R.P.) degree through an internship with a public agency, nonprofit corporation, or private consulting firm. Some of these positions provide a stipend while others are unpaid. The student works an average of eight hours a week and writes a paper based on the internship experience. No more than 3 credits may be earned in this manner. The Bloustein School's Office of Student and Academic Services provides assistance in placing students in internships. Forms are available from that office.
