The undergraduate Bachelor of Science in City and Regional Planning (BSCRP) program prepares students for professional careers in the understanding and design of human settlements. Practicing planners work in public agencies and private consulting firms, preparing comprehensive and area plans for projects, neighborhoods, cities, and entire regions. They address the use of land, housing, transportation, public facilities, infrastructure, and open space.

Advising Notes

  1. General Education and elective units may be applied to a second major or a minor (see double major or departmental minor). Consult the appropriate department chair, program coordinator, or faculty advisor for further information.
  2. Students must regularly consult with their academic advisor. Such consultation will facilitate course selection and enable the student to develop a program consistent with individual interests and needs.
  3. The selection of electives within the major should be strongly influenced by career goals, interests in graduate study, and related matters.
