When I did my regional planning degree (at the Univ of Pennsylvania) back before the Civil War (or so it feels) the only recognized degrees were either MRP or MCP.. The new MURP degrees now offered by many universities are slightly much more focused on social issues and inner city economic development but its all labeling and marketing. If you go o the PAB website they list the degrees offered by over 200 public and private universities and the names of the degrees vary. You have to go to the individual schools’ website and read about their program focus. Most importantly, see if you can find some alumni in your city or area or ask for some email contacts from their alumni office. That will give you a much better idea of what kinds of jobs their graduates have actually pursued.

Much hatzlacha in whatever path you take.
