Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning |
The Association of
Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP)
is a consortium of university-based programs offering credentials in urban and
regional planning. Acting together, the ACSP
member school faculty are able to express their shared commitments to
understanding the dynamics of urban and regional development, enhancing planning
practices, and improving the education of both novice and experienced planners.
The ACSP promotes education, research, service, and outreach in
the United States and throughout the world. It is committed to recognizing the
diverse needs and
interests in planning. It seeks to strengthen the role of planning education in
colleges and universities through publications, conferences, and community
engagement as well as through participation in the accreditation process. The ACSP
believes that planning education should extend beyond the classroom and into
the world of
practice working closely with practicing professionals and communities.
