Introduction

The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape (established in 1971 as the Faculty of Environmental Design) offers professional course-based Master’s degrees in Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Architecture and advanced thesis-based Master’s and Doctoral degrees for candidates who wish to augment their professional training and career experience with problem-oriented research. The School also offers an undergraduate program that provides a foundational introduction to Architecture, Planning, Landscape Architecture, and other city-building related fields. The Bachelor of Design in City Innovation employs a design-based theoretical framework for understanding the world. The degree is also consistent with comparable pre-professional degrees in other institutions across North America. The City Innovation component indicates the specific focus of the design-based inquiry: the physical and social infrastructure of cities at a variety of scales ranging from objects and buildings to landscapes and community plans.

Opportunities

To practice in Canada as a licensed architect, planner, or landscape architect one must be registered with the professional association of the province or territory in which one practices. Students completing the Bachelor of Design in City Innovation program are not eligible for licensure with these professional associations. Instead, this undergraduate program serves to support students in their admissions and progression to a first professional Master’s degree. All three first professional Master’s degrees offered by the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape are accredited by their respective professional accreditation authority. Students graduating from these programs fulfill the academic requirements for professional licensure with the province or territory where they choose to practice.

Additional Information and Resources

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
