An Experiment in the Internationalization of Planning Education

Abstract

This article describes a new multi-institutional program in international planning education and exchange—the Network for European-U.S. Regional and Urban Studies—within the broader context of the continuing internationalization of graduate-level professional planning curricula. Using student exit interviews and an institutional survey, the outcomes and impacts of this program on participating students, on the departments involved, and on the partner universities are assessed. Program experiences to date in terms of lessons for planning education in an increasingly integrated world economy are highlighted.
