Students learn to design, evaluate, and implement policies and programs that affect the social, economic, and physical development of urban and regional areas, including those in the Developing World.
The educational program fosters theoretical and conceptual knowledge relevant to urban and regional studies, and the acquisition of professional skills, including those in critical thinking, oral presentation, writing, statistical analysis and Geographical Information Systems.
The M.R.P. program normally requires four residence units, sixty credits, a set of core courses, and the completion of a satisfactory thesis, professional report, or research paper. At the discretion of the faculty, up to one residence unit and 15 credits may be granted, by petition after matriculation, for graduate work done elsewhere, including Cornell-supervised professional field experience. Doctoral degree candidates often begin in Cornell's Master of Regional Planning program; applications are also welcomed from outside the university.

Applicants to the Ph.D. program who do not hold an M.R.P. degree from a recognized program are required to first enroll in Cornell's M.R.P. program and to complete course work at least equivalent to that required for the first-year M.R.P. program. Applicants who hold a master's degree in a related field and who have had acceptable experience in planning practice will sometimes be considered for direct admission. Competence in basic analytical and research methods is required; this requirement may be fulfilled after entering the program.
