The announcement came from Clint A. Bertrand of College Station, Tex., chairman of the association's National Board of Accreditation. He said the period of accreditation for the Cal Poly program is four years, the longest initial period permitted, by NAIT regula­ tions. The industrial technology program at Cal Poly is one of 14 degree programs in the university's School of Engineering and Technology and is one of three degree pro­ grams offered by its Industrial Technology Department. Robert G. Valpey (Dean, School of Engineering and Technology) said the NAIT accredita­ tion culminates more than two years of preparation by faculty members. The accredita­ tion helps to assure current, former, and future students of the Cal Poly department that the courses and programs are relevant to the current needs of the nation, Dr. Valpey pointed out.

Mac McRobbie, has 325 students enrolled in its bachelor's degree curricula in industrial technology and bachelor's and master's degree programs in industrial arts, including 140 industrial technology majors.

Cal Poly Report - December 3, 1974 - page 3 NEW MASTER'S DEGREE APPROVED Final approval for establishment of a Master of City and Regional Planning Degree program has been received by Cal Poly according to an announcement by President Robert E. Kennedy. Approval of the program was received from the Office of the Chancellor of The California State University and Colleges. It will be offered by the School of Architecture and Environmental Design beginning with the 1975 Summer Quarter. George J. Hasslein (Dean, Architecture and Environmental Design) said th~ two-year mas­ ter's curriculum in city and regional planning has been designed to accept students from a broad range of disciplines who are interested in careers in planning. "We expect to prepare graduates for professional work with public agencies and private industry in­ volved with the planning of the physical environment and to prepare graduates for ca­ reers in teaching and research," Dean Hasslein continued. The new master's degree program is decribed by Dean Hasslein as one that will use a broad and integrated approach to data collection, analysis, decision making, and pro­ gramming to solve existing and future environmental problems. With a strong foundation in planning theory and law, the program will stress a balance between theory and prac­ tice and place special emphasis on regional planning and the problems of rural areas and small cities. Dean Hasslein called the new curriculum "a logical extension" of the bachelor's degree program in city and regional planning which has been offered at Cal Poly for the past seven years. "Since planning is a multidisciplinary subject, our new graduate curric­ ulum will complement several other undergraduate programs, particularly those in arch­ itecture, architectural engineering, landscape architecture, social sciences, and nat­ ural resources management, 11 he added. With more than 1,400 students and a faculty of 80, the Cal Poly school is one of the largest in the world.
