Environmental Design is the only program in the Rocky Mountain Region where you can major in architecture, landscape architecture, planning and product design at an AAU university.
Our interdisciplinary approach to design education combines the practices of architecture, landscape architecture, sustainable planning and environmental product design, so that you can build the necessary design foundations to become the next generation of creators, designers, doers and makers.
