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 combines concepts such as bioregionalism, sustainability, and landscape design within the context of physical land use planning, social planning, and community economic development. Students will study sustainability within the context of land use planning, social planning, and local economic development. The aim is to provide future planners with knowledge that will improve the quality of the built environment while reducing the impact of human activities on the natural world.
