UW-River Falls New Bachelor of Science Degree

Students seeking to design communities now and into the future will have the opportunity to learn those important, in-demand skills at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls following the addition of an undergraduate community and environmental planning degree at the university.  

The Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents voted Friday to add the new bachelor of science degree at UW-River Falls. The program will be offered as a major at the university beginning this fall.

UW-River Falls will be one of relatively few universities nationally, and the only Universities of Wisconsin school, to offer an undergraduate planning degree with a specific focus on urban planning.

UWRF officials said the program will build on the university’s existing conservation and environmental planning degree and will complement programs in the university’s Plant and Earth Science Department.
