Urban and Regional Planning Emphasis Description The Planning Emphasis is designed to offer training and experience in planning to majors in a wide variety of disciplines who want careers in planning. 51 Urban & Regional Planning Education The planning emphasis offers students a background in planning by adding a set of core courses to the major of their choice. This allows each student to pursue his discipline and still gain a general understanding of the field of planning, This is necessary because planning agencies require staffs with a wide variety of disciplines to accomplish their purpose. Employment Outlook Recent legislation implementing planning at all levels of government in the United States has created a potential for employment in the field. The Weber State College planning emphasis was initiated to take advantage of these opportunities and graduates in recent years have normally found employment. Related Careers Public health, environmental science, geologic hazards, cartography, landscape architecture, transportation, and economic geography.
