What is Planning?
Planners must understand how cities, towns, and regions are structured and how to create and evaluate plans that maintain and improve the quality of life in those communities. The Ambler College Community and Regional Planning program provides students with a broad-based understanding and awareness of multi-dimensional land-use and planning issues.
Students develop an understanding of the physical and economic issues of planning, a sensitivity to the social and environmental impact of planning decisions, and a knowledge of the governmental structures as they apply to planning.
To address planning issues, students will acquire problem-solving skills — Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and computer skills, site planning, planning and zoning law, research and design methods, negotiation and mediation abilities, and communication skills — and will experience working in teams and the real-life world of a required internship.
Students with degrees in Planning have many employment options in the public and private sectors. There is an urgent need for planners in this region and throughout the nation.
