Page 1 Guidelines by Major Effective during the 18-19 Academic Year To: UC Berkeley From: Santa Monica College 18-19 General Catalog Semester18-19 General Catalog Semester ====Landscape Architecture, Lower Division B.A.==== The undergraduate curriculum in Landscape Architecture centers upon creative and ecologically tuned design and introduces students to the breadth of knowledge common to the profession. At the heart of the undergraduate curriculum are three upper division studio courses that students take at UC Berkeley. The core studios ensure that undergraduate students benefit from the department's full range of interests and expertise. The undergraduate studio experience rests upon a foundation of professional courses in four key areas: (1) design skills and methods, including the lower division design courses, landscape architecture history, and computer methods; (2) ecological analysis, with courses in ecology and geography; planting design (two courses supplemented with an integrative biology requirement); and (4) topographic design. The undergraduate program leads to the B.A. degree in Landscape Architecture and provides the necessary education for students interested in either entry-level professional practice, graduate work in Landscape Architecture or further studies in a related environmental design field. The B.A. degree is certified by the State of California and counts as part of the education/experience requirement of the U.N.E. licensing exam. For more information regarding licensing or career options, visit the website of the American Society of Landscape Architects at http://www.asla.org. For information about the College of Environmental Design s degree programs, see ced.berkeley.edu/academics/ MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION For information about admission to the Landscape Architecture major in the College of Environmental Design, see CED's prospective student website: http://ced.berkeley.edu/admissions/undergraduate/transfer-applicants/ -The UC applicant personal statement is important in the selection process at Berkeley. The College reviews the personal statement for evidence of the student's interest in the chosen field and a thoughtful match between the academic program and the student's academic and career objectives. -A minimum 3.0 overall UC transferable grade-point average is required for admission consideration. -All courses required for admission, including breadth requirements, must be taken for a letter grade.
Page 2 -Course work must be completed by the end of the spring term that precedes fall enrollment at Berkeley. -As a community college transfer applicant you must complete, at a minimum, course work identified on assist.org as comparable to the following UC Berkeley courses: LOWER-DIVISION MAJOR REQUIREMENTS 1. Environmental Design 1 2. Landscape Architecture 1 OR Architecture 11A + Architecture 11B Note that if you complete 11A, 11B is not required but will strengthen your application for admission. 3. Biological Science: Biology 1B, ESPM 2, ESPM 6, LD ARCH 12, PLANTBI 10 or PLANTBI 40 (this course will also fulfill CED's Biological Science breadth requirement) 4. Physical Science: EPS 50, EPS 80, Physics 7A or Physics 8A (this course will also fulfill CED's Physical Science breadth requirement) In addition to Lower-Division Major Requirements, Landscape Architecture applicants must take a course on computer-aided design (CAD) to prepare for upper-division studio courses. Courses required for admission to the Landscape Architecture major may also be used to complete IGETC certification. Check with your community college counselor for more information.

Page 3 Education/Breadth Requirements outlined above to be considered for admission. All courses required for admission, including General Education/Breadth Requirements, must be taken for a letter grade. If you are using IGETC to fulfill CED's College Requirements, you must have full certification. Partial certification will not complete the requirements. Be sure to check with your community college about the procedures involved in certification of IGETC. The University will require the official certification by the July 1 deadline. If you will not complete IGETC certification, you must follow exactly the articulation agreements between your school and the CED Landscape Architecture major as described on this ASSIST.org website. Regardless of how you complete the General Education/Breadth Requirements, you must also complete the Lower-Division Major Requirements with articulated courses outlined on ASSIST.org. Highly recommended but not required: Knowledge of Adobe Suite and Rhinoceros.

See the CED prospective student website for a list of colleges that offer articulated ENV DES, ARCH, and LD ARCH courses: ced.berkeley.edu/ced/students/undergraduate-advising/articulation#table
Page 4 You may also wish to look into taking the mandatory Lower-Division Major Requirements at UC Berkeley during the summer (see http://summer.berkeley.edu) or via University Extension Concurrent Enrollment if class space is available (see http://extension.berkeley.edu/info/enrollment.html). Some students are able to take one or more of the Lower-Division Major Requirements at UC Berkeley via the Intersegmental Cross-Enrollment program, which allows students who meet certain eligibility criteria AND are enrolled at a California community college to enroll in a maximum of one course per academic term at UC Berkeley on a space-available basis, paying community college fees. See classes/visitor-and-exchange-programs Finally, if it is impossible for you to attend a school that offers courses articulated with the mandatory Lower-Division Major Requirements, you may submit comparable courses for evaluation using the "Evaluation of Transfer Coursework: Prospective Students" form on this page: ced.berkeley.edu/ced/students/undergraduate-advising/forms-documents. If you do not complete the articulated Lower-Division Major Requirements, you will not be admitted to CED.
