|
|
 Return to: Programs of Study
The Department of Geography, Planning, and Sustainability (GPS) offer a minor in regional planning that is open to all Westfield State majors. The minor introduces the challenging and vital aspects of creating, improving, and sustaining communities, cities, and regions. It provides students with knowledge of how cities and regions function and how they can transform through planning, policy, design, and social action. While it cannot convey the full scope of regional planning, the minor is an excellent addition to many other degree programs and majors at Westfield State.
