Professionals in Urban and Regional Planning work to guide change in the natural and built environment. They address a wide range of issues ranging from habitat conservation to historic preservation, from transportation to recreation, from neighborhood housing to regional shopping centers. Planning students learn about economic, legal, political, ecological, and social aspects of urban problems as well as urban design, land use, and the growth of human settlements. Throughout the program, students study real-life issues and develop solutions to them, using cutting-edge technology such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS). By the time they graduate, planning students are ready to apply current planning theories and methods to improve communities around California, the nation, and the world.
As of fall 2007, all undergraduate and graduate students entering College of Environmental Design majors are required to purchase a computer that meets departmental specifications.

Financial aid assistance for this computer purchase is available to students qualifying for Federal Student Aid (requested via the FAFSA application).
