Planners assist communities in formulating policies and plans to meet their social, economic, environmental, cultural, and physical needs.
- In the American Southwest, human strategies for adapting to arid conditions have been evolving for thousands of years. They represent many different cultural perspectives, complex social histories, and rich practical learning that are vital for current and future survival. The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Planning & Design offers students the opportunity to engage in socially and environmentally relevant skill building and to address the issues of an evolving social and cultural landscape.
- Opportunities for Environmental Planners exist in a variety of governmental, non-profit, and private for-profit settings.
