Course Description

Program Description The Bachelor of Planning (BPl) degree provides a broad education of the relationship between people and the environment. Students will learn how decisions are made about human settlements, resource management, environmental protection, human health and well-being, economic development, and many other areas. Students are engaged through in-class discussions, group work, and 'real world' community-based projects. Courses include environmental assessment, ecological design, local economic development, First Nations planning, land use planning, sustainable communities, professional practice, and more. The NCBNP is a practice-based curriculum. Learning experiences take place in the classroom, community, laboratory, and in clinical settings promoting integration of theoretical knowledge into practice. Students will have the opportunity to learn from expert practitioners. This stream familiarizes students with planning and decision-making in a variety of sectors that includes provincial land use planning, environmental assessment, watershed planning, and integrated resource and environmental management. By focusing on both natural sciences and social processes, students will learn about provincial land use planning, environmental assessment, watershed planning and integrated resource management. Students address problems that revolve around how to use our natural resources, who benefits, and who should decide.
