Majors 

CED offers a four-year bachelor of arts (A.B.) degree in architecture, landscape architecture, urban studies, or an individual major. The A.B. degree is a nonprofessional degree. It provides:

• A basic education in the skills, professional knowledge, and values common to the several branches of the field.
• An opportunity to develop a broad understanding of the cultural, social, and technological contexts of the field.
• The chance for students to formulate a particular role for themselves: practitioners, researchers, and specialists equipped with specialized though pre-professional command of one sub-field such as architecture or landscape architecture.
• An education sufficiently sound in its general outlines to provide a basis for work in another field such as construction, business, law, or government.
   

Minors

Minors allow students enrolled in undergraduate programs at UC Berkeley the opportunity for specialization in a particular sub-field of their subject major. CED offers minors in architecture, city planning, ecological design, environmental design in developing countries, history and theory of landscape architecture and environmental planning, history of the built environment, landscape design, and social and cultural factors in environmental design.
