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. First Nations Planning integrates cultural and social needs that are developed from within and are grounded in the ecosystem, including infrastructure development, housing, and health planning. To undertake planning with First Nations, students will acquire a sound grasp of planning principles in conjunction with understanding the protocols, history, social structure, and traditional knowledge of First Nations. The aim of planners is to improve the livelihoods of First Nations peoples through sound economic development and skilled land management.
