Bachelor of Planning in Natural Resources Planning (Co-op)

Program Overview

Engage with some of the key questions facing our society and economy. What are the challenges that come with how we use our natural resources? Who benefits? Who decides how they are used?

This major provides you with an understanding of the complexities of including the natural and cultural environment in planning decision-making and the knowledge to develop creative solutions. Gain the skills and experience you need to help communities and regions to set priorities for our relationship with the natural world, and to help implement those priorities through decision-making.

Program Details

  • This program addresses both project-level and large-scale environmental planning issues that occur in developments that impact the natural environment. 
  • Learn about provincial land use planning, environmental assessment, watershed planning and integrated resource management. 
  • The geographic and cultural context of Prince George and northern British Columbia provides you with a living laboratory to explore concepts, exchange ideas and discover solutions. Simply by living in the region, your life experiences will inform what and how you learn about the lives of people living in northern communities and First Nations, the impacts of resource extraction on the landscape and these people, and the need for new approaches to addressing long-standing social and environmental issues.
  • In addition to classes offered through the School of Environmental Planning, you will develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the world we live in through courses in biology, geography, environmental science, First Nations studies, forestry, economics, international studies, and outdoor recreation and tourism management.
