Description:

With this GIS and Urban Planning program, you'll learn how your training can help make the world a cleaner, more sustainable place. You'll be provided with technical and design skills that will help you understand land use planning, land development, land conservation and resource management, in both rural and urban communities from the perspective of both the public and private sector. As well, you'll have access to cutting-edge technologies including GIS (Geographical Information Systems), AutoCAD, 3D Visualizations and Presentation Graphics applications. This training will be used in conjunction with our case study method that allows you to participate in the conceptualization of actual land development projects. This two-year program also features two co-operative work terms that give you practical, hands-on experience with government, planning consultants or land development companies. When you graduate, you'll be prepared for an exciting career as a planning, design, or AutoCAD technician or a GIS operator or analyst.
