<p>Hello!</p>

<p>Please excuse the noob-ness, but this is my first time on this website. </p>

<p>Anyways, I am very interested in getting a major in Urban Design. I live in Florida, and only FAU has a BA in Urban Design. I'm already dually enrolling there and the school isn't a great one. I already have a grad school picked out: Savannah College of Art and Design. The issue is, I don't know where to go (preferably in state) for my Bachelors. It seems that only two schools in the nation have Urban Design Programs for undergrad. What should I do for my bachelors that will help me get into a grad program for Urban Design? Should I do architecture? Or just stick with FAU?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!</p>

<p>Students who go into Urban Planning have a wide range of undergraduate backgrounds. The point is to get the best education you can at a college/university that fits you socially and academic. Get exposure to a variety of disciplines – whatever interests you. </p>

<p>Urban Planning is influenced by so many areas of study – art history, art studio, environmental science, economics, geology, marine biology, sociology, political science, history. You really can’t go wrong as long as you push yourself to learn new things.</p>

<p>In four years you may still feel the same way about UP at Savannah, you may choose a different masters program, you may change your mind about urban planning. So keep your options open.</p>
