    "description": "<p>The MS in Urban and Regional Planning program at UCF allows you to further explore the technical and analytical skills required to develop innovative solutions that address the changing needs of communities. This includes the financial/economic, environmental and social needs of communities and residents. Your coursework will cover areas such as environmental planning, transportation planning and planning for healthy communities. You'll also examine housing and other issues related to land use. At the end of the program, work hands-on with a local government agency or nonprofit organization to conduct research and produce a project to address an urban planning issue for your capstone course.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>This important and growing industry is particularly relevant to areas like Central Florida that are not only growing in residents, but also in the number of company headquarters and transportation options. Based at UCF Downtown, the program immerses you in the various aspects of urban planning. The location provides you with an opportunity to study in a burgeoning metropolitan area while gaining first-hand experience and exposure to present urban challenges.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Upon graduation, you can further enhance your credentials by becoming certified by the American Institute of Certified Planners. Many urban and regional planning graduates hold positions in government &mdash; at the local and national levels &mdash; as well as work with nonprofit organizations and research and academic institutions. There are also opportunities with companies that specialize in architecture, engineering services, and scientific and technical consulting services.</p>",
