PART I: Program Description
Purpose
The Graduate Certificate in Transportation Planning (CTP or "the Certificate") is a
multi-disciplinary program aimed at providing students with a substantive base of
knowledge needed to be broadly successful in the transportation profession, as well as
with specialized instruction tailored to building student skills and capabilities in four
critical areas: Multimodal Systems Planning, Transportation and Urban Design,
Transportation and Public Policy, and Transit Management. This program will be open
to any graduate student at Texas A&M University with an interest in transportation.
The Certificate in Transportation Planning Program is developed as a partnership
between the College of Architecture, the Department of Civil Engineering, the Texas
Transportation Institute (TTI), and the Bush School of Government and Public Service.
The Certificate will be housed in the Hazard Reduction and Recovery Center, College of
Architecture.
The CTP Council
The CTP Council is comprised of at least five (5) faculty members who are experts in the
field, including representatives from the participating units-Department of Landscape
Architecture and Urban Planning (LAUP), Hazards Reduction and Recovery Center
(College of Architecture), Department of Civil Engineering, Texas Transportation
Institute (TTI), and the George Bush School of Government and Public Service. These
faculty members will be appointed by the Dean of the College of Architecture to advise
on all matters relating to the program.
The Graduate Advisory Committee for each student, with the oversight of degree
coordinators, department heads, and the Office of Graduate Studies, is responsible for
the academic program of the student. However the CTP Council is charged with
ensuring that students recommended for the certificate have met content standards.
The program can be accomplished within the minimum number of hours required for
any of the graduate degrees offered within the College of Architecture. However, the fit
with programs in other colleges will need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Moreover, the student's Graduate Advisory Committee might require, or the student
may choose to take, additional hours not on the degree plan in order to meet the
requirements for the certificate.25
