Since 1946 the Department of City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has been providing students with an excellent education in the planning field.

UNC Chapel Hill was the first planning program in the United States with its principal university base in the social sciences instead of in architecture or landscape design. The department now offers a wide range of degrees, including a Doctoral Program, Master's Program, and Undergraduate Minor. Students also have the option to enroll in certificate programs. There are over 50 courses offered by the department each year, allowing students to concentrate in specializations such as community development, economic development, environmental planning, land-use planning and design, and transportation planning. The strength of UNC's planning program is found in a strong student base, engaged faculty, and real-world exercises and projects that include community service.
