Overview

Key Features

The Regional and City Planning delivered at University of Oklahoma seeks to become a place of belonging and personal growth for our students, faculty, alumni, and the regional professionals with which we work.

RCPL students have access to a low student-faculty ratio and small classroom sizes to tailor courses of study to student interests. The program focus on communication and experience prepares graduates for the collaborative work of successful planning professionals with an emphasis on access and opportunity of those often underrepresented in planning.

Our program values close and extensive contact between students and faculty; our size allows the faculty to dedicate time to each student’s success. We also have the ability to focus on each student’s interests and work one-on-one to tailor individual courses of study within the curriculum’s format.

Our rich curriculum emphasizes skills development, with training in the latest computer technologies, and our well-equipped computer laboratories provide an extensive software library. Geographic information systems (ArcView, ArcMap), scanners, GPS receivers, color printers, and plotters are all found in our computer laboratories. Furthermore, our program offers many opportunities to gain practical experience by working in local agencies or with faculty on research projects.
