Land Use Clinic

Graduate / Professional

The Land Use Clinic gives students the opportunity to explore a variety of specific land use topics that are of current concern and relevance to the field, to the curriculum, and to society, including renewable energy, natural resources, rural-based land uses, watershed management, agriculture, and sustainable urban planning. In our rapidly changing political environment, strategies that focus on the local level are increasingly more important to achieving our global sustainability goals. Students work with the clinic professor and practitioners in the field to develop papers, research memoranda, and publications on a selected topic. The clinic professor and guest speakers conduct skill-based workshops focused on the tools and techniques needed to pursue a career in community land use planning. Some synchronized classes are held online to accommodate guest speakers around the country and outside of the U.S. The clinic includes a field trip over spring break and is available by application only. 3 Course cr 9am-12:30pm
