UndergraduateStudents who wish to study urban planning at MIT at the undergraduate level must first be accepted to MIT. At the end of the first year MIT students decide which course of study they wish to pursue. Undergraduate applicants do not apply directly to the Department. Additional information and instructions for undergraduate applicants are available in the MIT Admissions website: http://mitadmissions.org/ We as a department are striving to "center racial justice within urban design and planning and to create space for imagining what is required to build inclusive, thriving, and just cities” – Adapted from a statement from CoLab . In seeking to address the historical underrepresentation of certain groups and identities in the field of planning and urban design, Peer Application Support Services (PASS) is excited to offer support to students who may face structural barriers in applying, including (but not limited to) international applicants, first generation college students, and applicants who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, queer, disabled, and/or a person of color. PASS is a student-run mentorship program that connects prospective Masters and PhD students with current students who can provide guidance during the application process. Mentors can advise individual applications, proofread final drafts of essays, and answer questions about the curriculum. The PASS program is active during the months leading up to the application deadline. If you are interested in taking part in PASS: Fill out the PASS interest form by November 3rd, 2022 at 11:59PM EST. For questions about PASS, reach out to [email protected] . For specific admissions questions, reach out to [email protected] . A current graduate student volunteer will contact you by November 15th to connect you with a mentor. If you sign up for PASS after the deadline, we will do our best to accommodate you on a rolling basis and as mentors become available. Please keep in mind that graduate students are volunteering their time to PASS and are offering this service to supplement other support you should be getting from your own personal and professional networks. Though PASS is intended to extend support to you in this application process, this is not a guarantee of admission. Tuition (Graduate, PhD)Five to seven PhD students are admitted with complete financial support packages for five years, including optional summer work funding. A typical funding package consists of a first-year fellowship with no work requirements, followed by four years of department funding with research or teaching requirements. This covers full tuition, a monthly stipend, and student health insurance. Optional summer work funding is available in the form of research assistantships or curriculum development teaching assistantships for four summers. PhD students admitted with faculty-sponsored research or external funding must also be financially supported for five academic years. Tuition and the estimated living expenses for a MIT graduate student are available via the MIT Graduate Admissions Office . Tuition (Graduate, MCP)Applicants to the MCP program who are accepted are offered a minimum financial aid package of 75% tuition and student health insurance. In addition, some Master's students are also offered a research assistantship covering a monthly stipend in exchange for ten hours per week of work for a faculty member. MCP students may also seek additional financial aid through opportunities such as faculty sponsored research grants and hourly-paid jobs. All students are eligible to apply for departmentally funded hourly jobs and off-campus internships. Tuition (Graduate, SM)Unfortunately, there is no departmental funding available to support the SM program a this time. SM students may seek additional financial aid through opportunities such as faculty sponsored research grants and hourly-paid jobs. All students are eligible to apply for departmentally funded hourly jobs and off-campus internships. Tuition (Undergraduate)MIT Student Financial Services provides financial aid and customer service to all MIT students by helping students understand their financial options and select the best ones for them and their family. They award need-based financial aid from MIT and coordinate the receipt of aid from other sources. Learn more via their site: https://sfs.mit.edu/ For undergraduate students, MIT Admissions provides an online calculator to estimate what it will cost to attend MIT . All Master's and PhD students are eligible at any time to apply for loans and nondepartmental funds. Some restrictions may apply to international students. MIT's Student Financial Services (SFS) administers both need-based and non-need-based loans. Loan eligibility for need-based loans is determined by using a standard budget developed by the SFS.

I don't have a background in design--can I apply?Yes. Our students come from a variety of academic and professional backgrounds, including but not limited to public policy, urban design & planning, architecture, economics, political science and engineering. What is the deadline for applying to DUSP?Please refer to DUSP's MIT Grad Admissions page for complete information on application deadlines. I submitted an application but would like to know if you have received it, or if anything is missing. How do I check?Because of the large volume of applications we receive, we can not confirm receipt materials. Can I submit more than 3 letters of recommendation?No, we will not review more than three letters of recommendation. Do I need to submit a portfolio or writing sample?It is recommended that applicants who select the CDD program group submit a portfolio, however; it is not required. How many applications do you receive each year?We have approximately 400 applicants to our MCP program each year, and of those we accept 55-60 students. For the PhD program we have approximately 125 applicants and accept 4-10 doctoral candidates. What are my chances of admission to your program based?We cannot provide preliminary evaluations of chances for admissions based on any one or two qualifications. The Graduate Admissions Committee carefully reviews the entire application package (statement of intent, recommendation letters, transcripts, etc.) to determine admission decisions. I applied to DUSP in a previous year, but was not admitted. How do I re-apply?If you would like to re-apply to the program, you must follow the same steps as a new applicant. We do not keep application materials on file from previous years. Do I need to take the TOEFL exam? Can the TOEFL exam be waived in certain cases for international students?The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of applicants whose native or first language is not English. If you completed an undergraduate or masters degree in the US or at a college or university where the instruction was in English, you are not required to take the TOEFL/IELTS. The Admissions Committees regard English proficiency as crucial for success in all degree programs. A minimum TOEFL score of 100 (internet-based) is required by DUSP. We also accept the IELTS (International English Language Testing System with a minimum of 7. Permanent residents or US Citizens do not need to take the TOEFL exam. When will I know if I have received financial aid?All financial aid decisions are made at the same time as the admission decisions. Do I need to request an interview before I apply to DUSP?We do not conduct interviews as part of the admissions process but we encourage you to attend an Information Session in the fall or reach out to [email protected] with questions. Do you have interpreters to read international applications?No, it is the applicants responsibility to have an application and all its contents translated to English before it is submitted. If a college or university does not issue transcripts, a certified letter must be provided. It should list courses, grades, and degrees and date received. When will I be notified of my admission decision?Admission decision letters will be sent by early March. May I defer admission?No, we do not defer admissions. You may re-apply the following year by following the same steps as a new applicant. Do you provide any assistance in preparing an application?The Students of Color Committee at DUSP have created the "Peer Application Support Service" (SCC PASS) to provide assistance to prospective Masters in City Planning students in the application process. SCC PASS is intended to support student of color applicants through individual application advising, proofreading final drafts of essays, and answering questions about the program. Can I get two degrees from MIT at the same time? Can I get a degree from Harvard and DUSP at the same time?Students may pursue dual degrees in virtually any other department at MIT, provided they are accepted for admission and complete degree requirements in each department. Some common dual degrees completed by planning students are with architecture, real estate development, and transportation. Students who have been admitted to study for the Master in City Planning may apply to the other program during their first year of study at MIT and propose a program of joint work in the two fields that will lead to the simultaneous awarding of two degrees. Please be aware that pursuing a dual degree will add at least a year to your studies. MIT students are not eligible to complete a degrees at both Harvard and MIT simultaneously.

Gabriella Carolini, Lawrence Susskind Documenting and Evaluating the Resettlement Planning of Isle de Jean Charles. Janelle Knox-Hayes Overcoming Opposition to Renewable Energy Facilities in America. Lawrence Susskind We seek to improve the way society conserves and manages natural resources, pursues environmental justice and sustainable development, particularly in urban and metropolitan settings around the world. Members of the Environmental Policy and Planning group are most concerned about confronting the difficult changes and transformations required to achieve sustainable and equitable development in a world facing the short term impacts of the climate crisis. Some specific areas of research and teaching include indigenous environmental planning, climate adaptation at the local level, the adoption and diffusion of technologies that aim to mitigate or remediate environmental problems, particularly renewable energy, energy-efficiency, and water-conservation technologies; the efficacy of efforts to prevent and reduce air and water pollution and manage the disposal of toxic and hazardous wastes; the prospects for international, national, state-level, and local strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change; the resolution of conflicts surrounding facility siting and the allocation of transboundary water resources; the pursuit of environmental justice including affordable water and energy services; and the development of more flexible forms of urban infrastructure. We invite talented undergraduate and graduate students to work with our world-renowned faculty to become problem-solvers and leaders in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Our diverse community of scholars and activists share a commitment to the development of sustainable and resilient urban regions, as well as a thoughtful integration of science and values into environmental planning and policymaking. Our aim is to find better ways of harmonizing science, policy and politics. In addition to working with faculty on research and planning projects, EPP students are welcome to sample from the array of courses and resources available across MIT and at other Boston-area universities. Many students also play critical roles in environmental initiatives on the MIT campus and in Cambridge, Boston, or other nearby cities. In the process, they gain a deeper understanding of the complexities they will face in the course of their careers and learn to become reflective practitioners. Any student in DUSP who meet the requirements will be eligible to receive an Environmental Planning Certificate when they graduate. Learn more.

The cluster represents a collaborative effort to help faculty and students in EPP and other program groups make Indigeneity more central to what we do in the department. The cluster addresses questions of sovereignty, identity, and historical land-taking as well as present efforts to ensure environmental and social justice in land-use planning, climate adaptation and natural resource development. Our research, curriculum development, and practice in the cluster are undertaken in partnership with indigenous communities. These efforts are all linked to the department’s overall strategic objectives of a) achieving racial justice, b) enhancing multi-racial democratic governance, c) tackling the climate crisis and d) closing the wealth gap. Furthermore, we are trying to highlight lessons and practices from indigenous planning that can be applied more generally. Finally, we are seeking to strengthen connections with local Indigenous communities in Massachusetts, with the MIT SOLVE Indigenous Fellows program, and with Indigenous student groups at MIT as they seek to add indigenous students, staff and faculty to the MIT community. Environmental Justice and Post-Disaster HousingClimate change is sometimes presented as an inescapable equalizer, but it is already worsening inequality, in part through its uneven effects on housing. DUSP faculty and students are conducting ongoing research on the effects of climate change related disasters on low-income renters, including the effects of flooding disasters on rents, on evictions, and on the location of publicly subsidized affordable housing construction. The research focuses on identifying crucial environmental justice dimensions at the nexus of affordable housing policy and climate change. Urban Sustainability and Infrastructure PlanningIn the 21st century, cities hold the key to environmental sustainability; around the world, cities are competing to be the most "green." For western cities, becoming more sustainable involves radical improvements in energy and water-use efficiency; increased reliance on walking, bicycling, and mass transit; investments in green infrastructure; waste minimization through reduced packaging and increased use of composting, waste-to-energy, and recycling; cultivation of regional food systems; and other measures. The Science and Politics of Natural Resource ManagementMost of the nation's estuaries are under stress as a result of nutrient runoff, development of coastal wetlands, and toxic pollution. Similarly, dams, streamside logging, and livestock grazing of riparian areas have degraded rivers around the country. And urban sprawl threatens wildlife habitat in rural areas, while depleting the economic vitality of inner cities. Figuring out how to manage natural resources in the face of ever-increasing development pressure is a major focus of EPP faculty and students. Faculty are involved in projects that aim to explain the relationship between science and politics, as well as the effectiveness of emerging approaches in natural resource management. International Environmental Policy Making and RegulationMany of the concerns associated with development differ between developing and developed countries, but there is a shared need for analytic tools to anticipate the consequences of development and growth-management decisions. Research in EPP investigates new approaches to making trade-offs between environmental and developmental objectives, as well as devising and testing methods to resolve disputes over such issues. Many environmental problems can only be tackled on a global basis. Therefore, we focus on the dynamics of transboundary environmental negotiations, such as those concerning climate change, biodiversity conservation, and dozens of other regional and global issues. Urban Climate AdaptationPlanners are poised to play pivotal roles in minimizing the impacts that climate change will have on cities and their inhabitants. Faculty members in EPP conduct research on urban climate adaptation in all corners of the globe and are engaged efforts that span from local level studies of adaptation planning, to the creation of national and regional role-play simulations and implementation of scenario planning exercises, to collaborations with international organizations and institutions on their adaptation initiatives. Throughout these efforts, faculty members draw on social science methodologies, such as interviews, surveys, focus groups, as well as participatory and consensus-building techniques. The goals of these activities are to understand what cities are doing to address climate impacts, evaluate the ways in which scientific assessments shape decisions and actions, and identify the processes, programs, projects, and partnerships most likely to give rise to effective planning and implementation while ensuring that the needs of the most vulnerable populations are addressed. Urban and Community Energy SystemsAt the local scale, energy systems are complex networks of technology, markets, regulation, and behavior. Local conditions exert considerable influence over the design and operation of these systems, and how easy or difficult they are to change. EPP faculty members are interested in energy system governance and regulation, technology options, market structures, and the link between energy and local economic development. Current faculty research projects include studies analyzing the viability of different clean energy technologies; the impact of federal stimulus funding on local energy systems; an analysis of how local energy use data can be employed to promote energy efficiency and the optimization of energy system design; the role that energy technology can play in promoting job creation in cities, and community participation in energy efficiency planning and policy making. EPP faculty consult to leading energy industry players, local government agencies, and international organizations, creating research and collaboration opportunities for students and other departments and research institutes around MIT. Participatory Action ResearchOften social scientists try to emulate natural science – that is, to strip away the significance of place-specific context so that any researcher can, following the scientific method, produce the same results in any location. Participatory Action Research (PAR) researchers have abandoned that objective, arguing context is “everything.” PAR advocates follow well-documented procedures (that others could emulate), but they seek to draw lessons only with the people in the place they are studying, for that particular place. PAR scholars must be careful not to marginalize the subjects of their research. PAR can involve either quantitative or qualitative research, but it tends to be focused on one place or community at a time. While acceptance is growing as methods improve, applied social science research that follows the PAR philosophy is still discounted in some academic circles because it does not sufficiently mimic natural science or maintain an arms length relationship between researchers and the communities being studied. Moreover, society no longer believes that academics or other experts should impose their biases on communities. PAR methods are integral to the practices of the Science Impact Collaborative and the Community Innovators Lab. The MIT PAR website brings together the work, knowledge, and discussions of graduate students, researchers, and faculty. Societal Dimensions of Environmental Governance and Climate ChangeMany students and faculty study public participation, collaboration, and the roles that members of civil society play in environmental policy and planning. Working in domestic, international, and comparative contexts, faculty research examines issues such as the challenges environmental organizations encounter as they seek to monitor corporations and implement environmental agreements; the types of responses environmental groups have to development proposals, natural disasters, and environmental health hazards; and the extent to which civil society actors and organization are able to realize their goals in the midst of heightened transnational and global pressures. The intended outcome of this research is to generate policy strategies that foster innovation in environmental governance. Water DiplomacyDUSP faculty members, working with colleagues at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts and at Harvard Law School, are challenging conventional engineering thinking about transboundary water management. Applying multiparty negotiation theory and emerging ideas about complexity, faculty and students are helping to build an Aquapedia summarizing cases of water conflict and developing new tools, like multiparty role plays, to teach what is called the Water Diplomacy Framework to water professionals around the world. Land Use and Racial JusticeRacial inequality is embedded in place in part through state and local land use regulations that limit access to particular places and associated place-based resources. DUSP faculty and students have been conducting research on the role of land use regulation in exacerbating racial inequality and in advancing racial justice. One branch of recent work has focused on how the structure of planning policies and land use regulations shape metropolitan inequality in comparative international perspective. Another branch of work has focused on how zoning and housing policies can be redesigned to increase equality of access to resources and advance racial justice. Social and Environmental Impact AssessmentAll efforts to plan for infrastructure improvement and new development anywhere in the world should be preceded by an analysis of possible social and environmental impacts. Formal assessments provide an opportunity for stakeholders of all kinds to learn about what project designs are under consideration, what their likely social and environmental impacts might be, and what mitigation strategies ought to be considered. EPP faculty have been involved in efforts to improve the way social impact assessments (SIA) and environmental impact assessments (EIA) are used to engage stakeholders, model likely impacts, and reach fact-based or science-based decisions in the public arena. Impact Assessment is both an art and a science. Finding ways to estimate financial costs and benefits (and their distribution) and incorporating this information into consideration of project options is as important as modeling and evaluating ecological, sociological and justice-related impacts. EPP faculty have played a leadership role in developing EIA and SIA theory and practice. Facility SitingThe United States government is committed to rapidly constructing renewable energy facilities that can replace fossil fuel plants of all kinds. The problem is, there is growing opposition, from coast to coast, to the construction of new solar, wind, geothermal and transmission facilities. By identifying the sources of local opposition to such facilities (i.e. not just environmental protection and natural resource management concerns, but tribal justice as well) we are able to formulate better ways of avoiding or resolving facility siting disputes. Drawing on the Facility Siting Credo that DUSP developed several decades ago (and that has been tested empirically in many parts of the world), EPP is seeking to create a Renewable Energy Facility Siting Clinic that will train and assign students to work with communities in the midst of facility siting disputes. We are trying to enhance both the theory and practice of facility siting, and to provide direct assistance to communities that need help at the same time.
