Bachelor of Environmental Design

The Bachelor of Environmental Design (BEnvD) program is a strong multidisciplinary undergraduate degree that provides a solid base of design education for students intending to pursue careers or graduate studies in a wide variety of disciplines, including the Faculty’s master’s degrees in Architecture, City Planning, Interior Design, and Landscape Architecture, and at other institutions globally.

The BEnvD degree is a four-year program consisting of two years of common foundation studies, followed by two years of pre-professional intermediate studies. Years 1 and 2 of the program provide a solid grounding in the basic knowledge and language shared by all of the environmental design disciplines. Students come to understand the holistic nature of environmental design and, at an early stage, begin to establish a rich and multidisciplinary dialogue with their peers while discovering strengths and interests relating to a particular design discipline. Years 3 and 4 provide opportunities to be challenged by academic and professional design theories and practices specific to one of three particular disciplines:

• Architecture
• Interior Environments
• Landscape + Urbanism.
