In
2004, Rutgers' Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and Rutgers Business School: Graduate
Programs–Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) developed the dual master of
city and regional planning/master of business administration
(M.C.R.P./M.B.A.)
degree
program. The Bloustein School's planning program offers a broad array
of courses in such areas as housing, transportation, community
development, environment, urban and regional economics, and information
technology, as well as concentrations in several specialized areas.
The 84-credit dual M.C.R.P./M.B.A. degree program can be completed in three years of full-time
study. The total of 108 credits that would be required to obtain the
two degrees separately (48 for M.C.R.P. and 60 for the M.B.A.) is thus
reduced by 24 credits (12 credits each way), and the time from four to
three years. The dual degree combines the complementary strengths of
the two programs and provides a broad professional education ranging
from city and regional policy planning to business administration and
management. It is intended to produce professionals who will make
meaningful contributions to the improvement of cities and regions with
a full foundation of business principles.
