SURP to hold Faculty Conference on new curriculum

Faculty members of the School of Urban and Regional Planning are set to discuss and prepare the implementation plan of the Approved Curricular Revisions of the School in a Faculty Conference to be held on July 6-7, 2009 at the Fontana Leisure Parks, Clarkfield, Pampanga.

The new curricular offerings will include: revival of the fields of specialization under the ladderized program; and revisions to the Diploma in Urban and Regional Planning; Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy (Urban and Regional Planning); and Diploma in Transportation Planning and Master of Arts (Transportation Planning), and Master of Science in Regional Development Planning (MS RDP). The curricular revisions were approved by the University Council in a meeting held last March 30, 2009 and will be implemented starting the first semester of Academic Year 2009 – 2010.  

The Conference will also be a venue to review and harmonize the contents of the core and field of specialization courses, cluster faculty members by specialization, and propose modifications to policies relevant to the approved curricular revisions through presentations and workshops.

Former Deans, retired School officials, and professorial lecturers will be invited to participate in the said Conference.
