The courses we offer support our major programs. In our programs, required courses provide students with a solid foundation in their discipline and electives allow students to gain depth and breadth in geography, environmental geography, or urban and regional planning. The urban and regional planning degree also is designated as an evening program, with the intention of welcoming non-traditional students. As such, the core upper division courses routinely are offered in the evening.
We emphasize “skills” courses in our programs, including statistics and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Many of these computer-oriented courses are supported by our two state-of-the-art computer laboratories. We also have a successful internship program that enables qualified students to gain credit and “real world experience” by working for private sector firms, non-government organizations, local, state, or federal government agencies.
