ACSP hopes to encourage a wide range of high school and undergraduate students to consider a rewarding and challenging career in planning. ACSP promotes education, research, service, and outreach in the United States and throughout the world by seeking to: • recognize diverse needs and interests in planning; • strengthen the role of planning education in colleges and universities through publications, conferences, and community engagement; • improve and enhance the accreditation process, and; • extend planning beyond the classroom into the world of practice. If you are interested in a career in which you can help your community, influence the direction of growth and change, and build a better future, you should read this GUIDE. OBJECTIVES This GUIDE is designed to show you: • how fulfilling a career in planning might be; • the wide variety of jobs which urban and regional planners do; • the kind of education and training you need to become a planner; • the range of universities which offer planning education and training; and • how you might choose a university planning program matched to your interests and needs.
