Graduate Certificate in Urban Management and Planning
More people across the planet now live in cities than rural areas. Cities are becoming the focus of the world but managing them has become an increasingly complex task. In response to the importance of cities, there has been significant development in the body of knowledge concerned with urban issues.
The Graduate Certificate in Urban Management and Planning gives you the professional and scholarly education to take a leadership role in urban management, strategic planning and policy development. The coursework includes preparation in professional practice, history, and the theoretical and legal frameworks for planning. You will develop skills in a range of relevant areas including governance, urban finance and sustainable strategies.
Career Opportunities
Graduates can pursue a variety of urban careers relating to planning and management in local, state and federal government agencies as well as in the private sector.
