ACADEMICS

• Master in City Planning (MCP) track
  Many MCP students elect to take one or several transportation-related courses within or outside DUSP. Also, many MCP students write a thesis related to transportation, conduct transportation-related research, and/or are advised by transportation-related faculty.
• MCP/Master of Science in Transportation (MST) Dual Degree track
  Students wishing to pursue a dual degree can: (1) apply for dual-degree admission when initially applying to MIT, (2) apply to the MST program during their first of year of study at DUSP, or (3) apply to the MCP program during their first year of study in the MST program. The dual-degree program typically takes 2.5 to 3 years. For more information, see: link to dual degree document
• PhD
  Many PhD students come to DUSP to conduct advanced transportation-related research, working closely with faculty in DUSP and other Departments at MIT. Students tailor their coursework to prepare for the general examinations, which require a first field of study related to the systematic approach of social inquiry (such as urban and regional economics) and a second field related to an area of application (such as transportation and land use).
