| Student Achievement |
|
| A prominent characteristic to the MCRP degree student experience is being directly involved with real-world planning issues. Our planning studios provide an opportunity for our students to gain hands-on experiences with real-world planning issues in the City of Greenville. They are guided by two applied professors with extensive professional experiences working in Greenville: Dr. Barry Nocks (FAICP) and Dr. Robert Benedict. At the conclusion of the studio class, students present their final planning projects to the City of Greenville, Planning and Zoning Division staff. This past year, 100% of the entire 2nd-year class worked in a paid internship (PSAs) that covered tuition and provided a modest monthly stipend. PSA employers include: City of Clemson, City of Greenville, County of Anderson, County of Greenville, Greenville Community Redevelopment Agency, Upstate Forever, Toole Design Group, Plansurbia Design and AECOM. |

The University encourages students to use this tool as a primary resource for estimating costs. While the tool does not calculate a final student bill, information on tuition and fees is communicated on the Student Financial Services web page. | |
