Community Planning
Land use and its impact on the quality of life has emerged as a major
policy issue in New Hampshire, as well as at the national and global
levels. Planning is a multidisciplinary profession that requires people
who understand the technical tools and social concepts required to
guide the selection and implementation of alternative schemes
compatible with long term environmental and economic objectives.
Students may supplement their major and general education course
requirements with specific courses that will enhance their ability to
find employment that requires knowledge of planning concepts and tools
used in the formulation and implementation of effective land and
resource planning by government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and
private business firms.
