Graduate Certificate - Applied Community Planning

Communities need to grow for people to thrive. But growth needs to be carefully planned. There’s only so much space and land. The Applied Community Planning graduate certificate gives you the skills to guide rural and urban planning, community development, and public policy to help shape vibrant, healthy, and resilient communities.

New Brunswick Community College's interdisciplinary curriculum emphasizes the management of land, resources, and services, covering topics including the plan-making process, community engagement and public participation, and development, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), research and data synthesis, planning policy and law, and analysis of current and emerging planning issues.

Professional planners are catalysts for change. Enrolling in the Applied Community Planning program at NBCC can prepare you to play a pivotal role in shaping sustainable, inclusive, and thriving communities.
