The Ph.D. in City Planning is a research-oriented degree and the dissertation an in-depth research study is the centerpiece of doctoral study. The Ph.D. admissions committee will therefore read your statement of purpose seeking an account of your prior research experience and looking for evidence that you are prepared to undertake a significant, sophisticated, and independent in-depth research project. You do not need to have a specific research topic; however, you should remember that your competence and intellectual potential to undertake dissertation research is among the most important criteria considered by the doctoral admissions committee.
