As an architecture major at UC Berkeley — the top-ranked public university in the nation for architecture and the built environment — you’ll experience both the breadth of a liberal arts education and the depth of a rigorous pre-professional design program. You’ll graduate with a bachelor of arts degree that prepares you to enter the architecture profession or continue on to graduate study.
