College of Architecture and Planning

The College of Architecture and Planning at the the University of Colorado (at both the Boulder and Denver campuses) prepares students for careers in architecture, urban and regional planning, landscape design, and urban design. The college offers undergraduate and graduate education in these fields, and its professional graduate programs are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, the Landscape Architecture Accrediting Board, and the Planning Accrediting Board.

The College of Architecture and Planning’s undergraduate program is offered on the Boulder campus in an environment ideally suited to the needs of undergraduate students. With a diverse faculty committed to excellence in teaching, research, scholarship, and creative and professional work, the college provides students with a varied range of learning opportunities.

Many students intending to enter the design and planning professions complete the college’s undergraduate degree at CU-Boulder as preparation for entry into the college’s graduate-level professional programs at the University of Colorado Denver Downtown Campus, where they may receive advanced standing in those graduate programs as an outcome of the work they have done in the ENVD program. Graduate-level professional programs are offered by a wide range of schools and programs nationally, and students graduating from the college’s undergraduate program often receive advanced standing in those graduate programs as a result of the courses they will have completed as undergraduates in Boulder.
