Today's complex urban, social and environmental issues can best be
understood by researchers who can work across disciplinary boundaries,
and who understand the relationship of research to action. The planning,
policy, and design (PPD) doctoral program at the University of California, Irvine trains scholars for national and international
prominence in the analysis of social problems related to the built,
natural and institutional environments. Our faculty members and students
combine perspectives from urban planning, public policy, and design
behavior. The planning, policy, and design Ph.D. is based on the
department's internationally prominent research and teaching strengths,
including design-behavior research, environmental policy, health
promotion and policy, and urban and community development.
Students in the Ph.D. program take a
common core of classes, then specialize in study related to their
research interests. Students may design their own specialization or may
follow the guidelines provided to specialize in Policy and/or Urban and
Regional Planning. In either case, the elective courses need to be
approved by the student’s faculty advisory committee.
