Name of the sustainability-focused graduate-level degree program:
MS in City and Regional Planning

A brief description of the graduate-level degree program:

The profession of city and regional planning is primarily involved in helping people and communities manage growth and change in their physical, social and economic environments. The focus is on understanding how cities and towns (human settlements) function and how to make them better places for people to live and to prosper. Planning has its roots in engineering, architecture, landscape architecture, law, social welfare and government reform. The practice of city and regional planning is both science and art. It involves technical competence, creativity, hard-headed pragmatism and the ability to develop a vision of the future and to build on that vision. Planners today combine design, quantitative analysis, and people skills to assist communities and society. The program prepares students for professional careers in the design of human settlements in harmony with the natural environment and the needs of society.
