materials and systems, and practica or other practical experience with (2) two
courses in the history of the designed environment (including, for example
architecture, urban development, landscape architecture, archeology, or material
culture.) with (3) electives from a list of courses identified by the faculty, in the
subject areas of resource-related studies including design issues, neighborhood issues
(zoning, strategic planning, housing and social aspects of real estate development)
historic and cultural landscape issues, historic interior issues, economic issues
(marketing principles, private and public finance, property management and budget

the physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring over broad spatial and
temporal scales; and (2) skills in hydrologic policy and management based on a
strong background in natural and social sciences and engineering.
