Maria Manta Conroy
Interim City and Regional Planning Section Head

There is no box. City and Regional Planners are out-of-the-box thinkers. We love cities, towns, and regions. We are sustainability systems designers. We are tomorrow’s innovators who care about the quality of life for everyone. We are interested in developing local economies and for an entire country, providing affordable housing, promoting green energy, preserving threatened land, building great public transit, and developing sustainable cities and regions.

Does this sound like you or who you’d like to be? We are looking for innovative, creative students ready to be challenged. Education in City and Regional Planning will make your career goals reality. At Ohio State University, we offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral programs. The bachelor’s and master’s programs emphasize developing planners for professional practice through real-world experiences. The doctoral program focuses on expanding knowledge of planning to improve the profession. Our students are among the best in the world, and the opportunities for learning are endless.
