A transfer plan called the 'Two Plus Two Plus Two' makes it easy for community college students working on an associate degree to prepare for transfer into Iowa State's community and regional planning department.

Take two Iowa State courses--C R P 253, Survey of Community and Regional Planning, and C R P 270, Forces Shaping Our Metropolitan Environment --while you complete a two-year associate degree. Then transfer into the Iowa State Department of Community and Regional Planning and complete a bachelor's in as little as two years.

The Iowa community colleges that have signed the agreement are Des Moines Area Community College, Hawkeye Community College, Indian Hills Community College, Iowa Central Community College, Iowa Lakes Community College, Iowa Valley Community College District, Kirkwood Community College, Northeast Iowa Community College, North Iowa Area Community College, Southeastern Community College, and Southwestern Iowa Community College.

Community and regional planners assess the socio-economic and physical environments of communities and plan for their future. About two-thirds of ISU community and regional planning graduates work in local, state, or federal governments or for regional planning councils. An increasing number pursue graduate studies in planning or related fields.

Transfer in up to 65 credit hours in communications, humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, design, and electives. Complete an additional 66.5 credits at Iowa State.
