Geography or Urban Planning?

State Forums
1

<p>I'm going to transfer to an university. I'm interested in Geography and I think working in urban planning field is appropriate for that. But I can't decide to choose Geography or Urban Planning as my major. Do you have any ideas?</p>

<p>I'm going to apply for the Geography BA of SJSU, UCB, UCLA, UCSB
AND the urban planning undergraduate program of CalPolu SLO and UCSD.</p>

<p>Please feel free to comment.</p>

<p>p.s.Should I also apply for the urban planning program of SFSU and SDSU? I find little info about them.</p>

<p>If you were my kid, and wanted to be something other than a teacher, I’d steer you toward urban planning. Lots more jobs with just a bachelors degree.</p>

<p>You don’t list your stats but, I presume you understand how selective these campuses are…</p>

<p>If you haven’t you ought to look using Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) to get into UCSB. Your CC will have info and you can read about it here.

<p>Given the unpredictability of transfer admissions (other than SJSU) I’d encourage you to apply to some less selective (not SDSU orSLO). Again without your stats, i am only guessing here but, why not apply CP Pomona, Sac and Chico too?</p>

<p>My transfer GPA is 3.79.
I know a little about SDSU.
Is SDSU also a selective university?</p>

<p>Is it possible to study a Geography major and work in urban planning fields?</p>
