We offer New England's only Bachelor of Science Degree in Regional Planning.

We offer a strong planning education that includes a foundation in physical and social geography as well as pragmatic techniques to solve planning and environmental problems to foster sustainable development.

Regional planners develop and implement programs that provide for sustainable growth and revitalization of communities ranging from small towns to the state and federal levels.

Geography is to Space what History is to Time.

We cover the entire spectrum of Geography and Regional Planning in our teaching and research, including a focus on Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
