multiple times within this time period.
● Include a brief reason for your email in the subject line.

administration. Do not use their first names in an email, say “Hey!”, or other too casual verbiage that can be interpreted as disrespectful.
● Remember an email lives forever. THINK before you send!!

problems. I can’t help after the fact.
I am here to help navigate the degree requirements and make suggestions,
but the ultimate responsibility is yours

What if I told you
you have a choice…
![Page 15: Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cc710e15ef055d57628e5a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
.
Cura Personalis = take care of the whole personIf you don’t deal with the whole person, it is simply training
Please remember college is about much more than just meeting the academic requirements.
WHO do you want to be when you grow up, not WHAT do you want to be.

URBAN PLANNING
● All courses under the heading of MAJOR COURSEWORK or
Supporting Coursework must have a grade of C or higher.
● Although your courses are not as strictly sequential as LAND, there are some courses that mustbe taken in order.
● Design is more sequential than Policy
● Decide if you are more interested in policy or design
![Page 32: Department of Landscape Architecture & Urban Planning](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013005/61cc710e15ef055d57628e5a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
URBAN PLANNING TRACKS
● Policy Track - deals more with data collecting, working with elected officials
and community members, analyzing and then coming up with solutions or future
plans. Basically the final product is a written report that includes GIS mapping
to the client who will use it to move forward in their community.
● Design Track - Design deals with taking the analyzed data and visualizing
those problem fixes or future plans in the form of a visual design --- much like
Landscape Architects or Architects. This track would include more studio courses,
more digital communication, more drawing, and more GIS in order to create the
finish product of a design for the client to follow. This track is more sequential.
