The Graduate Certificate in Urban & Regional Planning will serve local professionals working in urban and regional planning and related fields.

Charleston region, thus fostering economic growth and workforce development in our community. Working with its partnering institutions, the
College of Charleston, The Citadel, MUSC, USC, and Clemson, the LGC continually assesses the educational needs of the Lowcountry and seeks to develop programs that respond to those needs. For more information, call (843) 953-GRAD.
