Urban and Regional Planning Major - Environmental Planning Track
Our environment influences how we talk, live and grow. Cities are a tangible part of your world that become part of your daily life: the school where you grew up, your favorite grocery store, that graffiti-covered traffic sign you pass on the way to work, that old man always sitting on the park bench. City planning is not just about the buildings or roads, but the environment we build and how we interact with it every day. With an urban and regional planning (URPL) degree at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½, you can help create these worlds within worlds.
Why Choose the Environmental Planning Program at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½?
