Program Description
Students in the architectural design program will develop the necessary skills to analyze, modify or create architectural space and the abilities to present their ideas in graphic form using a variety of media. The program emphasizes spatial and architectural theories relating to design, architectural history, and methods of graphic composition and presentation. This certificate provides a foundation in core curriculum required for admission to the University of California Architecture program at Berkeley and also provides a strong foundation in core subjects for continued work in the design field.
Students seeking to transfer to UC Berkeley in architecture are advised to complete this certificate of achievement in architectural design.
To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete each course used to meet a certificate requirement with a āCā grade or higher. Required courses are available in the day, and some are also offered in the evening.
Enrollment Completer Projections
The architecture program review data is presented in the following chart indicating the enrollment and completion data for that program. It is anticipated that the addition of the architecture design certificate program will double the number of completions annually. Since no additional sections of coursework are to be added to the schedule, impact on FTES will be small.
