Bachelor of Design in City Innovation (BDCI)

The Bachelor of Design in City Innovation is a four-year degree that enables students to develop design and design thinking skills to address the complex issues that affect our cities and the broader built environment. Graduates can undertake further studies in a variety of professional programs including architecture, planning, landscape architecture, law, social work, public policy, public health, and data science as well as pursue careers in multiple disciplines in the private, public, and non-profit sectors that focus on creating positive change in the physical and social infrastructure of cities.

Architecture or Landscape Architecture Concentration (within the Bachelor of Design in City Innovation) 

The courses required for the Architecture Concentration are equivalent to the courses in the Master of Architecture (MArch) Foundation Year and constitute the prerequisites for the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½â€™s two-year MArch degree. Completion of this Concentration does not guarantee admission to the MArch or to other degree programs in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape.

The courses required for the Landscape Architecture Concentration are equivalent to the courses in the Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) Foundation Year and constitute the prerequisites for the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½â€™s two-year MLA degree. Completion of this Concentration does not guarantee admission to the MLA or to other degree programs in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape.

Students interested in pursuing the MArch or MLA can refer to the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape for additional admission information.

Minor in Architectural Studies

The courses required for the Minor are equivalent to the courses in the Master of Architecture (MArch) Foundation Year, and constitute the prerequisites for the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½â€™s two-year MArch degree. Completion of this Minor does not guarantee admission to the MArch or to other degree programs in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape, but it may reduce the number of courses that are required for an MArch. Students completing the Minor must apply for admission to the MArch degree.

Students interested in pursuing an MArch at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ should note that only those students who have completed a four-year degree are considered for admission.
