The committee canvassed the course curriculum from multiple colleges within Texas A&M
University to determine appropriate elective courses for the transit management focus
area. The committee identified courses within LAUP, Bush, Civil Engineering, and
Management that are offered on at least an annual basis. For a list of the courses
considered, see Appendix A. The courses identified as essential to the transit management
focus area include the following:
Required: Focused Foundation in Transit Management (3 Credits).
- PLAN 670: Urban Public Transportation Planning*.
- PLAN 673: Design for Sustainable Transportation.
Electives: Transit Management (9 Credits)**.
Planning and Civil Engineering.
- CVEN 618: Traffic Engineering: Operations.
- CVEN 672: Engineering and Planning Urban Transportation Systems.
- PLAN 672: Transportation and the Environment
- PLAN 674: Transportation Systems Analysis.
Management, Policy and Finance.
- MGMT 630: Behavior and Organizations.
- MGMT 639: Negotiations in Competitive Environments.
- MGMT 655: Survey of Management.
- MGMT 658: Managing Projects.
- MGMT 675: Leadership in Organizations.
- PLAN 676: Transportation Investment Decisions.
- PSAA 611: Public Policy Formation.
- PSAA 622: Public Finance.
- PSAA 634: Public Management.
- PSAA 636: Grant and Contract Management.
- PSAA 648: Performance Management in the Public and Nonprofit Sectors.
* Students are advised to take PLAN 670 if available, but PLAN 673 will also satisfy this requirement.
** Students will be required to take one course under Planning and Civil Engineering and two courses under
Management, Policy and Finance.
To ensure students receive training necessary for transit management, the committee
divided the elective courses into two sections-Planning and Civil Engineering, and
Management, Policy, and Finance. Students must choose at least one course from each of
those sections. This requirement provides the students a combination of training from
Planning, Engineering, Public Policy, and Management-each necessary for a career in
transit management.
Certificate Implementation
The transit management certificate is part of the CTP, so in order to implement the track
the committee completed three steps. These include gaining approval for a new focus area
from the LAUP department head, revising the CTP Program Description and Degree11
