Linking Knowledge and Action
UEPP students and faculty present at the American Planning Association conference.
The department of Urban and Environmental Planning and Policy (UEPP) specializes in quality education, applied research, and community engagement that connect knowledge and action to address two of today’s major imperatives:
Environmental Justice and Sustainability
and
Equity and Opportunity for All
Urban and Environmental Planning and Policy programs prepare students to become leaders in their fields. The Department is home to four specialized and professional programs that, collectively, reflect a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach to planning and policy for communities, cities, and environments:
Natural Resource Management (extension)
