Bachelor of Science in Geography - Urban and Community Planning

Program Overview

Learn how to create and support sustainable communities by studying urban and community planning within your geography major. Urban planning means looking at physical, social and economic factors as you design and support cities. You’ll study strategies for improving the economy, environment and people's lives by shaping the cities they live in. With experience handling industry-leading software and taking the lead in your senior capstone, you'll be well-prepared to kickstart your career in urban and community planning. 

Why choose geography: urban and community planning?

The way we interact with our land and resources impacts every person on earth. As global resources dwindle, we can learn valuable lessons from the environments we shape. You can lead the way to change with new solutions as an expert in urban planning jobs. You'll learn to help address issues that affect our world today. Your studies of topics like population growth and city improvement efforts could impact millions.

Our urban planning degree provides a thorough look at both physical and human geography. It starts with the natural features of the Earth, like the atmosphere, water, land and living things, as well as climate and plant life. It then looks at human geography, which includes population, economies, politics and city development.

You'll learn to use today’s most advanced geospatial tools, like remote sensing and geographic information systems. You'll also become familiar with today's most advanced geospatial tools. You'll study geographic information science (GIS), and learn how to analyze and understand spatial data using advanced mapping tools. This is key for becoming planning professionals, community leaders and engaged citizens to promote sustainable communities.
