Cultivating an academic commitment to planning in Connecticut goes hand in hand with rebuilding state planning capacity.

Accreditation benefits programs by helping to define the program- and attracting students.

[CT_APA @CT_APA]

Attending an accredited planning program teaches students what they need to know to become practicing planners- and facilitates the path to becoming AICP certified (a value for employment).

[CT_APA @CT_APA]

Many of Connecticut's educational institutions have programs that touch on planning. Trinity will begin a graduate certificate in planning program this year.

[CT_APA @CT_APA]

Where do Connecticut planners get trained? In CCSU's geography program, or out of state in programs such as UMass, Tufts, Rutgers, Penn, Columbia, Ohio State, and UCLA.
