Undergraduate Education with a Purpose: A Planning Program at the University of Washington

Portland State University; University of Washington

In 1993, the University of Washington initiated a planning major in the liberal arts and sciences. The experimental program, called Community and Environmental Planning (CEP), has recently assessed its progress. This paper describes the program and distills what was learned in the self-assessment. The assessment is strongly affirmative, but also raises a number of concerns. The paper concludes with reflections on three subjects of importance to the field of planning on which the CEP experience sheds light: the challenge of continuing renewal, the scope of planning scholarship, and the place of planning in a democratic society.
