Can I study a specific field of planning such as transportation or environmental planning?
Students take core (required) courses and acquire skills that are basic to all areas of planning work. Students then tailor their studies to develop a focus on particular fields of planning such as regional design, housing and community development, historic preservation, food systems planning, natural resource development and planning, dispute resolution and public participation, smart growth and rural communities, watershed management and planning and social justice and environmental equity. They do this by carefully selecting electives offered by URPL faculty and by other departments on campus. See areas of specialization.
