A four-year program leading to the J.D. and M.C.R.P. (master of city and regional planning) degrees is offered under the joint auspices of Rutgers School of Law-Newark and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. The program provides students interested in the legal problems of urban areas and the environment with an opportunity to blend their legal studies with relevant work in planning, sociology, political science, and economics. The joint program provides for a four-year course of study (separate matriculation at each school would take five years) consisting of two and one-half years in the law school and one and one-half years in the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Participating students enroll consecutively in the required first-year programs of both schools during the first two years of study and take elective courses in the two schools during the final two years. The courses in the urban planning program are offered in New Brunswick.
Persons interested should apply separately to both Rutgers School of Law-Newark and to the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, noting on the applications the joint nature of their request for entrance. Information about the program is available from the associate dean for student affairs at Rutgers School of Law-Newark and from the graduate director of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 33 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901-1981.
