Has anyone gone through the Univ. of Pittsburgh's Masters of Public Admin - Urban and Regional Affairs program?
Kind of thinking about it. Am thinking about Pitt because 1) of the lower in-state tuition, 2) I think Pittsburgh is a great town 3) If I go to grad school, want it to be in a big city.
Maybe I can look into Temple too. I live in West Chester, PA, about 25 miles southwest of Philly right now.
Currently I am 26 and have an English BA. Have been doing freelance editing and adv. sales for the past 2 years. Prior to that, I worked for a software company doing all kinds of things, from writing tech manuals to doing RFP responses.
How planning/landscape affects people socially/psychologically has become a big interest over the past 1.5 years or so. Have read Jane Jacob's _Life and Death..._ and all three James Howard Kunstler books on my own so far. Reading a book about Lancaster, PA (by David Schuyler) right now. Lancaster is my hometown.
I don't know exactly what I'd want to do, but if I can in anyway help to create a healthy, traditional landscape of mixed-use walkable places with a concrete sense of place, I'd like to. Maybe I could help with a planning firm's marketing materials? Communications?
Thanks for reading and for any thoughts/advice you might have.
