Specialization in Planning
The Planning program educates students in the scientific, aesthetic, and orderly disposition of land, resources, facilities and services with a view to securing the physical, economic and social efficiency, health and well-being of communities. Planners work for all levels of government and in professional planning consultancies
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences offers a BA major in Planning and a BSc Specialization in Planning. Students interested in focusing on natural science elements of planning, including environmental management and the use of geographic information sciences, should consider the BSc program and those interested in the aesthetic, economic, and social issues of planning should consider the BA program (see Planning of the Calendar).
Continuation in the Specialization in Planning program requires a minimum 2.3 GPA on at least ★18 in the previous Fall/Winter. To graduate in four years, a student needs ★30 per year.
Graduation requires a minimum 2.3 GPA on the last ★60 credited to the degree. A student enrolling in the Specialization program should confer with the Planning program student advisor before registration.
