The field of planning includes many rich and diverse areas of research. At SCARP we have a small number of faculty with dedicated expertise in a subset of planning areas. Our PhD program therefore focuses on nurturing and supervising a small number of select applicants. We take great care in finding a good match between student, supervisor, and area of research and invite you to follow these steps:
1. Read SCARP's minimum requirements for admission in the PhD program overview page.
2. Complete Pre-Application - August 15 to November 15 - Prospective applicants must complete a short PhD Pre-Application questionnaire.
3. Receive Invitation to Apply - Dec 15 - Prospective applicants notified whether they are invited to complete a full application.
4. Submit Full Application - Feb 15 - Deadline for full application by invited applicants only. Uninvited applications will not be considered.
5. Receive Admission Decision - March 15 - Applicants will be notified of admission and funding decisions at approximately this date. Date may shift slightly to coincide with relevant funding announcements.
