The
master of city and regional studies (M.C.R.S.) degree requires a comprehensive examination used to assess the
knowledge of the student with regard to basic concepts and methods used
by urban planners. The examination may be written or oral and is
supervised by two members of the graduate urban planning faculty. The
oral exam lasts approximately one hour. While the primary focus is on
basic planning concepts and methods, the exact content of the
examination is determined by the two faculty examiners. A written
examination can take the form of one or two longer essays or a series
of short questions. This examination is to be closed book and taken in
a school office or classroom. The M.C.R.S. comprehensive examination is
to be scheduled for the last semester in which the student will be in
residence at the school. The master of city and regional studies
comprehensive examination form, outlining the process, is available in
the student services office.
