Overview

Key highlights

Planners are problem solvers who utilize a variety of skill sets to help communities—from the smallest towns and neighborhoods to the largest cities and regions—foster a future characterized by economic success, environmental sustainability and justice, aesthetic beauty and equity. Drawing from a curriculum that is aligned with national planning education standards, our students of the Urban and Regional Planning program acquire core skills in environmental and sustainability planning, research and communication methods and law & justice. In addition, our students may specialize in applied Geographical Information Science (GIS), Environmental Studies, or they may curate their own specialization reflecting personal, professional interests.

Rowan University is equidistant from rural New Jersey and the urban centers of Philadelphia and Camden, locations that provide exciting experiential learning opportunities to better understand the many complex issues facing American communities. Combining theory, case studies, and applied skill building enables our students to ask the right questions, analyze problems and contribute the solutions that are needed in countless communities in the State of New Jersey and across the country.
