Urban and Regional Planning - Minor
By pursuing the minor in Urban Planning at Texas A&M, students will earn an education in a multi-disciplinary atmosphere where analytical skills and critical thinking are harvested. Students will then apply this knowledge to address real-world issues that communities and regions face on a daily basis. Students earning a minor in urban planning can effectively solve problems related to a number of complex issues involving the built and natural environment, transportation, health and economic development, among others.
The Urban Planning minor will provide a solid educational basis for students wishing to pursue a post-graduate education in the planning field. Because of its broad scope, the minor may also serve as an effective introduction to graduate study in other social science disciplines such as economics, geography, political science and public policy.
The minor will prepare students for entry-level positions in a variety of fields, including state and local government; advocacy, grant-making and civic organizations; real estate management; environmental science; social assistance services; and health care services.
