Doctorate[edit]

A doctorate degree in urban planning does not qualify one for certification as an urban planner in most jurisdictions.

Is this correct? A doctorate can't be used, but a masters can? Or am I misreading it? Thanks! Michael

---This just means that can't sit for the certification exam by the AICP simply on the grounds of their doctorate. They must still accumulate the req. experience.--

I think the article is suggesting that without accreditation by one of the main planning institutes it will be difficult to get a job as a 'certified planner'. MUP programs are usually considered 'professional entry' degrees because most people do not continue to PHD studies in urban planning. Generally, if you get a doctorate in planning you will be doing research/academia work rather than working in a planning office.

Alternatively, you can get a PHD in a related(cognate) field of study that often can bridge the gap between arts and science degrees. For example, a MUP student can continue on to do a PHD in Urban Design, Environmental Science, Population Health, ECT.(J03K64 (talk) 08:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Copied from another website[edit]

I was searching for a list of cognate fields. I'm doing a MUP degree currently and would like to transition to an environmental science or similar field for a PHD...
