For communities to flourish, thoughtful expansion is essential. However, such growth requires strategic management due to limited space and land availability.

Designed to meet National Professional Standards Board requirements, students participate in planning exercises, teamwork, and hands-on learning experiences utilizing current software while implementing community planning concepts in Canadian professional settings. Combined with relevant work experience, this program prepares graduates to pursue certification as Registered Professional Planners (RPP) in New Brunswick or other provinces.
