This critical assessment of Harvey Perloff's influential paradigm for education planners begins with a survey of the core offerings of 20 North American planning schools. It proceeds to ask what is specific to planning education, leading into a discussion of the planning "core." Planning programs are then challenged to stretch the period of graduate study so that students can acquire true mastery of a specialization which rests on a foundation that includes a knowledge of the urban habitat and its dynamics as well as the skills, methods, and approaches common to all urban professionals.
