I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do? Get a list of directories
in the CURRENT directory? Or get a list of directories WITHIN a
subdirectory?

To get a list of directories in the CURRENT directory, just do:

ls -d */

To get a list of directories WITHIN a directory, you could do:

ls -d criteria*/*/

If you're not looking for either of the above, then please restate the
question.
