BOCEP announces 2010-2011 Deep Learning course schedule

From September 2010 to June 2011, the Bloustein Online Continuing Education Program will be offering 24 courses and a new professional certificate track in cultural planning and development.

BOCEP Deep Learning combines the convenience of traditional online courses, the real-world concerns of training sessions and the educational quality of graduate school classes.  BOCEP Deep Learning is designed to help the best and brightest professionals in urban planning and public affairs get smarter.

Each course is $295, and is either eligible or will be submitted for 14 AICP Certification Maintenance credits.  This year, BOCEP will pursue continuing education credits from other professional associations, such as the American Society of Landscape Architects. Every Deep Learning course earns 20 hours toward a Bloustein Professional Certificate. Scholarships of up to $145 are available for every course.


In 2010-2011, BOCEP will offer five professional certificate tracks:

  • Cultural Community and Economic Development focuses on integrating arts and culture with urban planning. In many of these courses, cultural professionals and public affairs professionals will work together to address real issues facing real communities.  This course track is offered in partnership with the Professional Development Institute's Arts Build Communities initiative.
  • Economic and Community Development focuses on improving quality of life and building prosperity in communities.  Courses in this track will help anyone who works at the neighborhood to city scale.
  • Leadership and Professional Practice helps learners become more effective at their craft, and build their skills to lead groups, organizations and communities in problem-solving. 
  • Courses in Planning Law and Legal Issues explore current topics in land use planning.  In at least one course, learners will learn how to draft ordinances and regulations for their communities.
  • Urban Design and Placemaking focuses on physical planning, architecture, and the strategies that turn spaces into thriving places.
