Our four-year environmental design degree is a strong, design-based education focused on understanding and interacting with built environments. If you’re interested in architecture-related careers, but not one as a licensed architect, this is the major for you.
If you want to pursue a professional license in the field of architecture, please consider our bachelor’s degrees in architecture and our master of architecture degree.
