Undergraduate Programs & Admissions | Graduate Programs & Admissions Why Study at the College of Environmental Design? A few answers are obvious. We have an outstanding faculty committed to both teaching and research. Our students are diverse, smart, hard working, and committed to change — a wonderful combination. The programs in architecture, city and regional planning, landscape architecture and environmental planning, urban design, and urban studies are all part of a collegewide whole, providing a wealth of perspectives and collaboration opportunities. California and the San Francisco Bay Area are at the epicenter of the demographic, social, and economic changes that are altering our country and world. In terms of quality and diversity, Berkeley is one of a very few world universities. Financial aid is tight these days, but we do provide some financial assistance to our graduate students, and various scholarships and prizes are available to our undergraduates. The weather is pretty nice, the natural environment is unparalleled, and the coffee selection can't be beat. Regardless of whether you are admitted at the undergraduate or graduate level, you will be joining a community of design and planning scholars and practitioners, from which you will be able to draw and to which you will contribute for the rest of your life. UC Berkeley doesn't just grow minds, it grows lives.
