The MURP Professional Paper is an individual piece of writing that poses a planning problem, cites relevant literature, documents the methodology used in arriving at the recommendation, presents one or more solutions, policies or plans to meet the problem, and supports the conclusion with relevant arguments and empirical material. The problem tackled will be of interest to both the student and to a real world or conceptual client. The paper may incorporate work done in an internship or you may further advance a paper completed in a seminar, capstone workshop, course, or independently. The professional paper will demonstrate your accomplishments in your area of specialization and serve as a major element in your portfolio for your job search and future career.
