Admissions

Graduate

Whether your interests lie in design, planning, research and teaching, public policy, or community activism, our programs prepare you to take a leadership role in your chosen career.

As a student at CED, you might join one department (or two), but you can make yourself at home in the college’s other departments through courses and international studios and workshops. And opportunities abound in departments across our world-class campus. An interdisciplinary approach to design and planning is one of the hallmarks of CED, and as a result, our graduating students are equipped with the skills they need to be successful in their chosen careers, and prepared for the numerous challenges facing them in the world today.
