Ringkasan program

This program is designed to prepare students to address changes that are occurring in metropolitan and fringe areas, as well as changes that are occurring in other types of communities located in non-metropolitan areas. For example, rural communities have smaller economies of scale and less diverse populations than larger cities. Small coastal and other natural resource based communities must carefully weigh impacts of development against protection and conservation of environmental qualities. Graduates of the community development program will be able to apply their conceptual, analytical, and management skills to such issues involving infrastructure development, leadership, economic growth, youth development, poverty, welfare-to-work, water quality, land use, and other issues involving mobilization and collaboration with diverse community groups. Community development students can look forward to careers in various levels of government and their programs, Cooperative Extension, and regional planning organizations. Other potential employers include private community planning firms, industrial parks, retirement communities, recreational resorts and communities, and public relation firms.
