"Each summer, the University of California, Berkeley's College of Environmental Design (CED) becomes an intensive laboratory for architectural, landscape, and urban exploration. Through two complementary programs-Design + Innovation for Sustainable Cities (DISC) and the Summer Institutes-Berkeley offers an immersive curriculum grounded in disciplinary rigor, intentional exchange, and a shared institutional culture. Together, these programs reflect CED's long-standing multidisciplinary structure, with architecture, landscape architecture, city planning, and urban design thriving and collaborating under one roof."
"Across all summer programs, successful students earn college credit at the nation's top public university, build a high-quality portfolio for graduate school or professional applications, and gain fundamental skills in design and planning. Whether participants are exploring design for the first time or building on prior experience, the summer programs emphasize both skill-building and critical thinking within a collaborative academic environment."
