Overview

Planners with undergraduate degrees often work in entry-level planning positions. Many planners with undergraduate degrees will go on to receive a master’s degree in planning. A degree from a PAB accredited university in planning is the most thorough educational preparation for the planning field. The Urban Planning program is offered by Alabama A&M University.

The program also offers students with an accelerated degree program, called the 4+1 program, that will enable academically qualified students to earn a bachelor's degree and thereafter a master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning. These students can expect to graduate sooner than they would in traditional program settings.

Career fields

They also work in nonprofits and within the private sector in real estate development companies and planning or multi-disciplinary consulting firms

Programme Structure
