In 2004, the Rutgers Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy and Rutgers Business School developed the dual master of city and regional planning (M.C.R.P.) and master of business administration (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 M.B.A.) is thus reduced by 24 credits (12 credits each way), and the time from four to three years. If done part-time, the M.B.A. is reduced from 49 to 40 credits. 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.

Please note that students in this dual-degree program who would like to work with the M.B.A. Office of Career Management in order to compete for M.B.A.-level internships and full-time positions must do the M.C.R.P. in their first year and start the M.B.A. in their second year.
