URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING EMPHASIS Coordinator: Wayne Wahlquist Telephone: 626-6943 Description This program provides a special emphasis in Urban and Regional Planning for majors in Botany, Economics, Geography, Geology, Microbiology, Political Science, Sociology, Zoology, and related fields. 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. PROGRAM: URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING EMPHASIS General Requirements: • A grade of C or better is required for all courses in Urban and Regional Planning. Specific Requirements: • Courses required: Geogr 341 (3), 342 (3), 343 (3). • For students completing both a major and a minor, the requirements of the major field will be reduced by fifteen hours.

This goal is achieved by developing in students a cohesive, solid theoretical foundation bolstered by practical, hands-on experiences. The learning environment is further enhanced by extensive contact between faculty and students both in and out of the classroom. In addition, the liberal education component present in all programs equips students for lifelong learning in a changing world.
