Program Overview
The five-year B.Arch. program provides a comprehensive education in architecture, integrating design, technical, and theoretical courses. Led by resident faculty, students develop their design skills and explore various architectural concepts. The program prepares graduates for professional licensure as architects, combining liberal arts and professional training.
Program Outline
Outline:
The five-year B.Arch. curriculum is well integrated, beginning with a sequence of design classes introducing fundamental design concepts and skills. Courses in technical and structural design, history and theory complement a broad variety of open elective courses that may be taken in other colleges on campus.
Teaching:
Unlike many other programs, the School of Architecture has resident, full-time faculty members who help you develop your own aesthetic interests and design process. Professors bring their practical experiences to the classroom, and recent classes have explored architectural history, high-performance skins, urban design and material experimentation.
Careers:
Because the bachelor of architecture degree combines an undergraduate liberal arts education with professional training, you’ll be on the path to become a registered and licensed architect—no graduate school required.
