USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development

In today’s world of dynamic change and globalization, social and

economic challenges have become increasingly complex and enduring.

Solving society’s most pressing issues – including sustainability, health-

care reform, housing, immigration, infrastructure, urban development,

social planning and policy, and governance – requires innovation and

collaboration. These issues call for leaders who are able to move beyond

their areas of expertise and work across the public, private, and

nonprofit sectors to find vital solutions.

Through its interdisciplinary approach, SPPD trains

and educates students to serve as innovators – and

leaders – in their fields.

SPPD ›› About SPPD

Educating leaders and innovators The School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD)

degree programs in public administration, public policy,

urban planning, real estate development, and health

administration draw on the expertise of faculty and practic-

ing professionals to create a learning environment with

breadth and depth that sets SPPD apart. SPPD ranks sev-

enth nationwide among “America’s Best Graduate Schools”

for public affairs, according to U.S. News & World Report.

An SPPD Education

SPPD offers an education that:

• Combines social sciences, professional

expertise, and the resources of a world-class

research university to give students breadth,

depth, and variety.

• Fosters the relationships between students

and teachers.

• Offers both academic and real-world experi-

ences, drawing on a network of engaged alumni,

advisors, and prominent professionals.

• Encourages innovation, entrepreneurship,

experimentation, and collaboration.

• Instills a multidisciplinary and problem-

solving ethic.

• Focuses broadly and inclusively on the issues,

constituencies, structures, and institutions

engaged in public life – in both governance

and the built environment.

• Uses Los Angeles and the greater Southern

California region as a living laboratory in which

to practice the lessons of the classroom.

• Provides students opportunities to apply

their skills in the global arena.

About SPPD››u

sc.edu/sppd

The mission of the School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD)is to improve the quality of life for people and their communities, here and abroad.

We achieve this mission through education and research that promote innovative solutions to the most critical issues facing society.

New forms of governance require that public administra-

tors and managers, policymakers, planners, real estate

developers, and healthcare managers work together – and

reach across sectors – for the betterment of communities

everywhere. It is for this multidisciplinary reality that SPPD

prepares its students and conducts its academic research.

Exceptional Faculty

SPPD faculty members are distinguished scholars who

share a deep commitment to research and teaching. Their

diverse disciplinary backgrounds and research interests

include economics, international relations, urban planning,

organizational behavior, philosophy, political science,

psychology, public administration, public policy, sociology,

and social ethics. Many SPPD faculty members also serve

on the boards of leading academic journals and major

public and nonprofit organizations. In all their work, they

contribute to the store of knowledge in their respective

disciplines and to the formation of the next generation

of civic and community leaders.

Extraordinary Students

Students with a wide range of backgrounds and interests

are drawn to SPPD’s academic programs. Many enter the

school’s master’s degree programs directly following com-

pletion of their undergraduate degrees, while others have

accumulated significant experience in professional prac-

tice. SPPD’s class scheduling accommodates both full-time

students and working professionals. Graduates of the

school hold important positions in government, business,

and the nonprofit sector. In all their endeavors, alumni

draw on the invaluable repertoire of knowledge and

skills gained at SPPD.

Research Opportunities

USC is the oldest private research university in the

American West and one of only 62 members of the

Association of American Universities. Its faculty and

students collaborate on a wide range of individual and

grant-funded research projects, many of which take

place in the school’s research centers and institutes.

That research directly impacts Southern California,

the nation, and the world.

About SPPD

The SPPD Context

SPPD’s multidisciplinary nature provides a cohesive

education with breadth and depth that sets its academic

programs apart. To prepare themselves for a wide range

of careers, students are encouraged to take courses

offered by the school’s distinctive, yet interconnected,

master’s degree programs: public administration, public

policy, planning, real estate development, and health

administration. A student’s peers inside the classroom

today may become their professional colleagues locally

and globally tomorrow.

About USC

USC is one of the world’s premier teaching and research

universities and the oldest private research university in the

West. Distinguished by a renowned faculty, innovative com-

munity-building initiatives, and highly selective admission

standards, USC ranks in the top one percent of the nation’s

colleges and universities in academic quality. Among private

research universities, USC consistently appears on the

list of the top 10 recipients of federal research funding.

Alumni and donors recently demonstrated an extraordinary

commitment to USC and its future by supporting a

$2.85 billion fundraising campaign. USC was named the

TIME Magazine/Princeton Review “College of the Year” in

2000, in recognition of USC’s dedication to public service.

Welcome to Los Angeles

There's no better place to study and analyze policy,

planning, and development than Los Angeles, the world-

class metropolis that is home to USC and SPPD.

L.A. is the second-largest U.S. city and offers unique

diversity unlike anywhere in the world – from its people to

its landscapes to its industries to its cultures. It is also a

global economic hub – a center of international trade, busi-

ness, finance, technology, aerospace, and entertainment.

USC, located just three miles from the city’s downtown,

12 miles from the beach, and 60 miles from both deserts

and snow-capped mountains, is truly a gateway to all of

the varied experiences L.A. has to offer.

“USC is situated in the right place – an urban location with a diversity of ethnicities, cultures, political views, and people with different backgrounds and values.”– Helen Tran, BS '09, MHA candidate

“Who wouldn’t want to go to USC?I’d been dreaming of being able to go to USC since high school.”– Petty Santos, EML ’10

A Message from the Dean

Since 2005, it has been my privilege to serve as dean of the USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development, one of

the most distinctive and highly regarded schools of its kind in the nation.

SPPD engages in solving some of the most critical issues facing our world today, such as unemployment, effective

governance, nonprofit management, homeland security, healthcare reform and healthy communities, social policy,

infrastructure and transportation, environmental and financial sustainability, and the real estate and housing markets.

Addressing these complex challenges requires leadership, an understanding of the

multiple disciplines that bear on any single issue, and the determination and courage

to break new ground in search of lasting solutions. I am honored to head a school

whose students work to shape our world for the better.

At the core of SPPD is our distinguished faculty. Their strong intellectual leadership and

dedication to improving the quality of life for people and their communities worldwide

provide the cornerstone of what we impart to our students.

SPPD offers considerable opportunities for students to work with faculty in addressing

real-world problems, complete internships, and interact with prominent practitioners.

At SPPD, we call this “knowledge in action.”

The city of Los Angeles, with its rich cultural diversity and unique urban setting, provides

an ideal “living laboratory” for learning. In addition, SPPD students every year can travel

abroad – to Asia, South America, or Europe – to examine issues in a global context.

I invite you to learn more about SPPD by browsing our Web site at usc.edu/sppd and

following us on Facebook and Twitter. You may also visit us in Ralph and Goldy Lewis

Hall on the USC campus. To arrange a visit, please call (213) 740-0550.

Meet our faculty. Speak with our students. Whatever your professional or scholarly

interest, SPPD will provide you with an exciting, challenging, and lively environment in

which to study, work, learn, and shape the world.

Sincerely,

Jack H. KnottC. Erwin and Ione L. Piper Dean and Professor

Public Administration

Public administrators run our harbors, airports, and public transportation

networks. They manage our environmental protection systems, community

centers, schools, and universities. They are leaders in healthcare, urban

revitalization, and welfare reform. They work in the public and nonprofit

sectors and with private agencies to help manage virtually every aspect

of our public services. They oversee and continuously redesign gover-

nance structures at the city, county, state, and federal levels to create

place-based solutions to community problems.

A career in public management provides an opportu-

nity to shape the future of our communities and to

improve our overall quality of life.

SPPD ›› Graduate Programs in Public Policy and Management

Shaping the future of public service In a world of rapid change, public administration

professionals use their leadership capabilities to address

critical social challenges, including:

• How can we maintain high-quality public

service in the face of diminishing government

resources?

• How can leaders from multiple sectors work

together to solve public problems?

• How can citizens be more effectively engaged

in governing processes?

• What must be done to prepare the next

generation of leaders in public service, as our

current leaders near retirement?

The Master of Public Administration Program

The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program offers

a professional education designed to prepare students

for the challenges and opportunities of a career in public

management or in related nonprofit and private organiza-

tions. Established in 1929, the MPA program at the USC

School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) is one

of the oldest and most distinguished programs of its kind

in the United States. SPPD is rated seventh overall among

public affairs schools nationwide and ranks fifth for the

public management/administration specialty, according

“Public administration is about public service. It’s about running our cities, government agencies and

nonprofits. Our goal is to prepare students to be leaders who will solve today’s critical social problems.”

– Shui Yan Tang, Professor, Director, Master of Public Administration Program

Public Policy

Policy analysts inform and shape the public mandates and strategies

that improve life for residents in all communities. Working within a

complex system of governance, they partner with peers and colleagues

in government, business, and the nonprofit sector to find innovative

solutions to societal problems and challenges. They integrate leadership,

analysis, evaluation, and management to address the most pressing

policy issues facing society. Their work covers a wide range of fields,

including social and urban services, environmental

sustainability, economic development, international

affairs and trade, health, education, transportation,

and homeland security.

SPPD ›› Graduate Programs in Public Policy and Management

Forging solutions through policy change Policy analysts confront many of today’s most

significant social issues, such as:

• How can business, government, and the non-

profit sector collaborate to develop sustainable

economic development strategies?

• How can urban policymakers ensure adequate

and affordable housing in congested urban areas?

• What technological investments and behavioral

changes are needed to redress climate change?

• What can schools do to help reverse the child-

hood obesity epidemic?

• What role can the philanthropic sector play in fos-

tering community in low-income neighborhoods?

• How can local governments more meaningfully

engage community members in policymaking

and planning?

The Master of Public Policy Program

The Master of Public Policy (MPP) program at the USC

School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) is one

of the most distinguished of its kind in the United States.

SPPD is rated seventh overall among public affairs schools

nationwide, according to U.S. News & World Report.

In the MPP program, students are taught to develop

“knowledge in action.” The professional focus ensures that

students will have the skills to be successful in our rapidly

globalizing world. Through course work, interaction with

faculty, and practical experience, MPP students gain

awareness of the political environment and develop an

understanding of the effects that decisions have on

government, business, and the community.

“I did a yearlong internship with a public affairs firm. I could see how the public and private sectors can really work together

to get things accomplished.” – Abigail Goldstein, MPP ’10

“All the students in my classes are very ambitious, very motivated, and very collaborative in their work —

and it definitely brings out the most in you.”– Ayesha Hashim, MPP student


“At SPPD, you gain a rich understanding of all underlying theories and ideas, merged with their real-world, day-to-day execution. By the time you finish, you have a full picture of whatever your endeavor is.”– Stephan Guine, MPP '96, Systems Engineering Manager, Northrop Grumman

sc.edu/sppd/mpp

“The greatest thing about SPPD was understanding social issues on the local,

national, and international levels.” – Smita Satiani, MPP ’10, Clinton-Orfalea Fellow 2010

The program offers a number of distinct features:

• A small size that allows one-on-one access to

full-time faculty

• Professors who involve students in meaningful

research and civic engagement

• Integrated analysis and leadership development

• Instruction in a broad range of analytical skills

• Practical, real-world experience and career support

MPP students are an exceptional group who vary in

their backgrounds, experience, interests, professional

training, and education. Some come straight from an

undergraduate setting, while others have significant expe-

rience in professional practice. While most public policy

students hold bachelor’s degrees in the social sciences,

students with an undergraduate degree in any field are

eligible for admission and encouraged to apply.

Faculty members, employers, and program advisors

often remark on the characteristics of the typical MPP

candidate – strong analytical, quantitative, and verbal skills;

intellectual curiosity; and a deep commitment to under-

standing and solving the problems facing our society.

“We are facing a multitude of critical challenges — glob-

ally, nationally, and locally. The need for educated public

policy professionals has never been greater, nor the field

more rewarding,” says Professor Gary Painter, director of

graduate programs in public policy. “SPPD MPP students

learn to apply analytical and quantitative skills to complex

issues and develop leadership talent to employ solutions.”

The MPP program is a two-year full-time program or a

three-year part-time program.

Urban Planning

Urban planning professionals help communities and decision makers at the

local, state, and national levels in obtaining place-based solutions to prob-

lems related to land use, transportation, housing, economic development,

the environment, sustainability, and the design of more livable communities.

Planners address urban issues at various scales: city blocks, neigh-

borhoods, metropolises, and even entire regions. In their interdisciplinary

and collaborative professional work, planners engage with businesses,

citizen groups, and elected officials to define, organize,

and better understand their physical, natural, and social

environments. They are often advocates for economic

development, environmental quality, social justice, livabili-

ty of the built environment, and interests

of future generations in a global economy

and an urbanizing world.

SPPD ›› Graduate Programs in Urban Planning

Driving sustainable growth and change Urban planners address critical challenges of contempo-

rary social, economic, and environmental problems:

• How can we make a city greener without

creating economic inefficiencies that adversely

affect residents’ lives?

• How can we protect vulnerable communities

while managing growth and change?

• What balance does a region need between

private and public transportation?

• What design components can we insert into

neighborhood plans to help residents lead

healthier lives?

• How does the American experience compare

to the challenges and opportunities in growing

Asian or Latin American cities?

The Master of Planning Program

The Master of Planning (MPL) program at the USC School

of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) is one of the

most distinguished of its kind in the United States. SPPD

is rated seventh overall among public affairs schools nation-

wide, according to U.S. News & World Report. In addition,

the MPL program ranks seventh in the 2012 Planetizen

Guide to Urban Planning Programs.

The MPL program is committed to preparing students

for practice at the local, regional, state, and national levels.

A hallmark of the program is the multi-sector approach to

planning, which emphasizes the needs of public and pri-

vate interests, nonprofit organizations, and citizen groups.

A further distinction of the curriculum is its commitment

to exploring universal principles of planning and preparing

students to practice anywhere in the world.

MPL students come from all over the country and many

nations. They are culturally diverse and vary in their back-

grounds, experience, interests, professional training, and

education. Some come straight from an undergraduate

setting, while others have substantial work experience in

planning and other fields. Many see the MPL degree

as a way to change careers, to move into high-growth

service sectors, or to assume more significant manage-

ment or executive roles in their organizations. All share

a commitment to implementing positive community

change and improving the quality of life for people in

the built environment.

“Urban planning is about anticipating the future.

It is about social equity and environmental justice, com-

munity livability, and sustainable development. It aims to

improve the community environment and the quality of

life in urban places and urbanizing societies,” says

Professor Tridib Banerjee, director of graduate programs

in urban planning (through December 2011).

A prestigious advisory board provides direction to

the program and practical training to students. Members

serve as guest speakers in classes and seminars, con-

tribute financial support, and assist in student placement.

The MPL program is a two-year full-time program or

a three-year part-time program.

Health Administration

The United States healthcare system is undergoing profound change.

Access, quality, and cost of healthcare are critical issues that affect all

citizens, residents, and communities. Healthcare and the healthcare

industry – which account for more than 17 percent of the entire U.S.

economy – involve complex and fast-moving developments in technolo-

gy, economics, ethics, finance, policy, and management. As an issue and

as a sector, healthcare requires an understanding of public, private, and

nonprofit interactions. Visionary and effective leadership

is needed to improve management structures in a highly

competitive, market-driven environment and to build

transparent, accountable, evidence-based care.

SPPD ›› Graduate Programs in Health Management and Policy

Addressing critical healthcare needs As the healthcare delivery system changes, career

opportunities abound. No field has greater need for lead-

ers and managers – in hospitals, health plans, medical

practices, health-related enterprises, and community

health organizations – who possess the knowledge, skills,

and experience to shape the future of healthcare.

Tomorrow’s healthcare leaders must address such

pressing issues as:

• How can we control healthcare costs as

baby boomers become senior citizens and

medical technology continues to advance?

• How can healthcare dollars be allocated

wisely across generations?

• How can we measure quality of care?

• How can we assure that all U.S. residents

have access to healthcare?

The Master of Health Administration Program

The Master of Health Administration (MHA) program draws

on the university’s 35 years of leadership in post-graduate

education in the health management and policy field. Its

curriculum emphasizes contemporary key areas including

quality of care issues, health economics and finance,

health policy analysis, management and the use of health

information technology, and organizational leadership.

The program is designed to allow for in-depth specializa-

tions in two of these five areas, with an emphasis on

quantitative analytic methods throughout all areas. The

USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD) is

rated seventh overall among public affairs schools nation-

wide, according to U.S. News & World Report.

The MHA has established strong ties to the healthcare

community – successfully bridging the worlds of academ-

ics and professional practice. The school’s Board of

Councilors comprises top executives in healthcare, gov-

“The residency component was a determining factor. Experiencing different departments in a hos-pital and working on projects that affect patients

ernment, and business throughout California, and the

Health Advisory Board includes senior-level leaders

of healthcare organizations from across the state.

Consequently, MHA students have direct access to those

who are shaping healthcare and healthcare policy

throughout the region, state, nation, and world.

Another strength of the program lies in its diversity, or

“the differences that make a difference.” The multicultural

backgrounds of the MHA program’s students and faculty

greatly enrich the learning experience and provide ideal

preparation for a profession that crosses all cultures.

The MHA program is designed as a two-year full-time

program but can be completed as a part-time program.

MHA Specializations

MHA students may select from one of the following

specializations:

• Management, Operations, and Leadership

• Health Policy Analysis

• Health Finance

• Health Information Technology

• Quality of Care

Real Estate Development

Real estate developers are the impresarios of the built environment.

They orchestrate the talents of many players and balance the wants

and dreams of various constituents touched by development projects.

It is their job to discover how we want to live and work – and to

provide the settings accordingly.

In many ways, real estate developers are creators of the urban

landscape, working within complex systems of governance to tackle

the challenge of converting undeveloped or underutilized

resources into homes, employment centers, civic areas,

and places of recreation and commerce. They embrace

the risks, responsibilities, and rewards that come with

making our built environments more

habitable and prosperous.

SPPD ›› Graduate Programs in Real Estate Development

Building our communities With greater frequency, community groups, government

agencies, other property owners, and even the media are

becoming involved in the real estate development

process. The capital markets, political and regulatory con-

text, and major players change so rapidly that it is difficult

to remain informed, let alone competitive. To deal with

these complexities, today’s industry professionals require

advanced training to prepare them to operate in an

increasingly technical and interrelated field.

In this rapidly evolving industry, developers must

address pressing questions, such as:

• What will cities need now and in the future?

• What forms of development will create the

most value for society?

• Who are the natural partners for such

development and redevelopment?

• Who will fund such projects? Who will

shepherd them?

• What risks exist in pursuing such projects,

and how can these be mitigated?

“The real estate curriculum is top notch, and the sense of community at SPPD is strong

throughout the school. It really brings all SPPD programs together.”

– Andrew Slaton, MRED ’10

“We have speakers series, we have luncheons, we have site tours, and you really get to connect

with practitioners and see theory in the classroom out in the field.”

– Martin Kulli, MRED/MBA ’10

Graduate Programs in Real Estate Development

“California is so progressive with development. SPPD's MRED program covers the full range of development, from high density to suburban. You can tailor the program to your personal interests.”– Kelley Curtin, MRED '10

“The MRED degree is directly tied to my career path, and many of the issues I deal with now were discussed and taught during my education at USC.”– Ross Mitchell, MRED '04, Vice President, Investments, Cohen Asset Management, Inc.

Dr. Chris Redfearn, Directorof Graduate Programs inReal Estate

Since its inception, the program has trained more

than 600 participants who have played key roles in many

significant commercial, mixed-use, and housing develop-

ments throughout the nation. The program is taught by

well-respected, diverse, and committed faculty. The

coursework is highly relevant and up-to-date with current

real estate market trends. Students leave the program

equipped with the understanding of the real estate devel-

opment process through hands-on experiential learning.

The program has three iterations: winter and summer

programs held on the USC campus, and the fall program

co-sponsored by the Bay Area Council and held in San

Francisco. As the program has grown, the curriculum,

which focuses on real estate finance and development,

has also evolved to include sessions on public-private

partnerships, the approval process, and market analysis.

/sppd/mredThe Master of Real Estate Development Program

Established in 1986, the Master of Real Estate

Development (MRED) Program at the USC School of Policy,

Planning, and Development (SPPD) is one of a small num-

ber of graduate degree programs in the country focused

on real estate development and one of the most highly

regarded. SPPD is rated seventh overall among public

affairs schools nationwide, according to U.S. News & World

Report. The MRED program is well established and closely

connected to the real estate industry through the USC

Lusk Center for Real Estate, a joint program of SPPD and

the USC Marshall School of Business.

Through its focus on design, finance, and policy, the

MRED program prepares graduates for key positions

in real estate development. Courses combine lectures,

projects, case analyses, site visits, and exercises so that

students can experience all facets of the developer’s tasks

and challenges – market analysis, finance and deal struc-

turing, site planning, and project management and opera-

tions – and to all product types – residential, commercial,

retail, office, and industrial. Whether in the context of

urban redevelopment, historic preservation, or suburban

growth, MRED students gain a developer’s perspective

on the importance of relevant issues in real estate law,

economics, finance, marketing, negotiation, architecture,

urban history, planning, project management, and

construction technology.

Students come from backgrounds in appraisal,

architecture, construction management, commercial bank-

ing, landscape design, asset management, real estate

development, brokerage, and urban planning.

“What ties them together is an entrepreneurial spirit

and a strong desire to have an influence on the built envi-

ronment – they want to be able to touch the product of

their efforts,” says Associate Professor Chris Redfearn,

director of graduate programs in real estate.

The MRED program is a one-year full-time program

or a two-year part-time program.

Graduate Programs in Real Estate Development

In this era of globalization, the arena of professional practice is an

international one. Leaders must be adept at addressing issues that arise

both locally and globally. Issues of sustainability and the environment,

health, infrastructure, public finance, governance, role of nonprofits, eco-

nomic development, changing demographics, terrorism, and leadership

are increasingly important and transcend national boundaries.

Successful leaders must have the skills to address these issues

from an international and comparative perspective and

an understanding of the roles of national and local govern-

ments, non-governmental organizations, and private

businesses in different societies in solving these

increasingly complex problems.

Bringing global home Master of International Public Policy

and Management

The International Public Policy and Management (IPPAM)

program offers a Master of Public Policy and Management

(MPPM) designed for international students and U.S.

students working in international settings. This executive

program targets mid-career professionals with experience

in government, nonprofit agencies, or business firms

engaged in the design, planning, and management of

social programs and services.

Courses foster the critical thinking and problem-solving

skills needed to design creative policy solutions and man-

age programs. The 32-unit curriculum includes an 18-unit

core focused on economics, data analysis, policy analysis,

planning and management, and program evaluation. An

area of specialization is developed through 14 units of

electives. Specializations include: public sector manage-

ment, policy analysis methods, health management and

policy, educational planning and management, urban plan-

ning and infrastructure management, nonprofit manage-

ment, international development, and public policy com-

munication.

IPPAM begins in June and can be completed in 13 to

labs, which allow students to put their knowledge into

practice by providing consulting services in a setting

outside the United States.

“It’s not a luxury anymore to have an international

fabric to your school,” says Jack H. Knott, dean of SPPD.

“It’s essential for the way we train students and the kind

of research we do.”

SPPD’s ongoing relationships with organizations that

span the globe enable the school to offer students unique,

multifaceted labs every year in locations like China,

Brazil, Italy, Costa Rica, and the United Kingdom.

Recent programs “brought global home” by sending

graduate students – across all of SPPD’s degree programs

– abroad to do research on either water pollution in

Foshan, China, or lessons learned from other Olympic

cities to make recommendations on how Brazil might bet-

ter prepare for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympics.

Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning and

Development (Ph.D.)

The Ph.D. in Urban Planning and Development (UPD) pre-

pares students to be academics and scholars who

research contemporary urban problems, and contribute

new ideas and innovative solutions to the critical issues

facing communities here and abroad.

The majority of the world’s population now lives in cities;

and in 20 years, the total will swell to two-thirds. As the

specter of explosive urban growth looms, it also defines the

contemporary challenges in practice, such as: demand for

shelter; community livability; sustainable development;

infrastructure deficit; climate change; social equity and envi-

ronmental justice; and responding to the demographic

shifts of an aging and multicultural population. These chal-

lenges shape the frontiers of research and scholarship that

will engage doctoral students and faculty alike.

Through advanced theoretical core courses in critical

thinking, planning theory, urban development, and sound

methodology courses, doctoral students gain a strong foun-

dation from which to launch their scholarly career and

develop an area of expertise.

Building on the strengths of the faculty of the School

of Policy, Planning, and Development, UPD students may

focus on one of the following fields:

• Economic development

• Environment and sustainability

• Housing and real estate development

• International development

• Social and community planning

• Transportation and infrastructure

• Urban form and design

• Metropolitan and regional growth

The culture of the doctoral program requires participation in

research and teaching seminars, and presenting papers in

academic and professional conferences. Graduates of the

UPD program secure tenure-track and research positions

at leading research universities and institutes throughout

the U.S. and the world. SPPD graduates hold faculty posi-

tions at the University of California, Los Angeles; University

of Washington; University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign;

Korea Transportation Institute; University of Cincinnati;

Scholarship That Matters

The USC School of Policy, Planning, and Development

(SPPD) is renowned for both its capacity to apply expertise

from multiple fields to a single issue and the depth of its

contributions from each field. Its research provides vital

data to important academic disciplines and helps shape

real-world solutions.

SPPD faculty rank third at USC in terms of per capita

research grants – a reflection of both faculty productivity

and the quality of research. In 2010-11, SPPD’s external

funding totaled $33 million.

Central to SPPD’s work are the research and activities

conducted through its research centers, institutes, and

initiatives:

USC Bedrosian Center on Governance and the

Public Enterprise strives to understand and promote

democratic governance in the United States and across

the world. usc.edu/sppd/bedrosian

SPPD ›› Distance Learning: Online Degrees and Certificates

The School of Policy, Planning, and Development (SPPD)

offers one graduate degree program, two graduate certifi-

cate programs, and approximately 10 graduate courses

per year in a distance learning format. SPPD ensures that

distance education students retain the strong sense of

community that is a hallmark among all SPPD programs.

The online programs include video conferencing, rich

media, online social networking, and individual e-mail

communications with the professors.

Online Master of Public Administration Program

For the first time, SPPD brings its distinguished Master of

Public Administration (MPA) program into the distance

learning arena. The online degree program was designed

and developed with the working professional in mind —

combining the world-class faculty instruction and compre-

hensive focus of SPPD’s traditional MPA with the conven-

ience and portability of distance learning.

Thanks to the SPPD distance learning technologies, stu-

dents can enjoy the value of real-time collaboration that is

familiar, and valued, in its traditional MPA program. The

online MPA offers the opportunity to share without the

constraints of common schedules — students can post

questions and observations any time of day.

Certificate in Homeland Security and Public Policy

This graduate certificate develops and refines risk analysis

skills and provides students with the knowledge needed to

understand the increasingly important issues of homeland

security and public policy.
