    "description": "<p>Urban and regional planning is one area of public administration that has seen considerable growth over the past few years. Areas like Central Florida need many professionals who assist government, communities, and private sector planning organizations to provide growth that is environmentally feasible, aesthetically attractive, socially and politically acceptable, technically sustainable, and economically dynamic. This minor looks at all of these diverse and competing interests, and provides the basics for those interested in employment in this area of great demand. Students who pursue a minor in urban and regional planning may find positions as a city planner, urban designer, planning specialist, environmental program manager, or economic development specialist, among others. </p><h2>Minor Admission Requirements</h2><ul> <li>None</li> </ul><h2>Minor Requirements</h2><ul> <li>None</li> </ul><h2>Prerequisite Courses</h2><ul> <li>None</li> </ul><h2>Degree Requirements</h2>18 Total Credits <ul><li>Complete the following: <ul><li>PAD3330 - Urban and Regional Planning (3)</li><li>PAD4712 - Information Systems for Public Managers and Planners (3)</li><li>PAD4331 - Land Use and Planning (3)</li><li>PAD4334 - Urban Design (3)</li><li>PAD4253 - Community &amp; Economic Development (3)</li><li>PAD4351 - Issues in Environmental Program Management (3)</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Grand Total Credits: <strong>18</strong></h3>Restricted ElectivesSuggested Courses<p>Students in the Minor program are strongly encouraged to take the following courses as electives to enhance their understanding of the field.</p><ul> <li>PAD 4390 - Hazard Mitigation and Preparedness <strong>Credit Hours:</strong> <strong>3</strong></li> <li>PAD 4392 - Emergency Management and Homeland Security <strong>Credit Hours:</strong> <strong>3</strong></li> <li>PAD 4803 - Issues in Urban Administration <strong>Credit Hours:</strong> <strong>3</strong></li> <li>PAD 4822 - Intergovernmental Administration <strong>Credit Hours:</strong> <strong>3</strong></li> </ul>Foreign Language Requirements<ul> <li>None</li> </ul>Other Requirements<ul> <li>Students must earn a \"C-\" (1.75) or better in each course in the minor.</li> <li>Students must earn an overall GPA of 2.0 in the minor.</li> <li>At least 15 hours used in the minor must be earned at UCF within the department.</li> <li>No credit by exam (TSD, Military credit) may be used.</li> <li>Internship or Independent Study credit cannot be used toward the minor without prior approval.</li> </ul>",
