Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy of Rutgers University serves as a center for the theory and practice of planning and public policy scholarship. The school is located in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and was named in honor of former Rutgers President Edward J. Bloustein (1971 to 1989).

Through its academic programs and research centers, the Bloustein School engages in instruction and research, and combines learning and application (for example, it holds "studios" in which students create plans for communities in New Jersey through communication with community stakeholders). The school has compiled a list of school-wide areas of expertise that offers a glimpse into the school's strengths and the specializations of the faculty. (Some faculty members specialize in transportation planning, other specialize in the environment, some others (including former governor Jim Florio [1]) have specialties in policy, and professors also specialize in real-estate development. At least one professor specializes in information systems as applied to public planning and policy, and other professors specialize in quantitative and qualitative research methods and the furtherance of such methods.

The school offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Planning and Public Policy, Urban Planning and Policy Development, and Urban Studies and Public Health.

The university program is also accredited by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP).^[1]
