The Bachelor of Science program adds to this foundation with studio courses in architectural design, community studies, environmental systems, and additional technical courses that shape a comprehensive undergraduate program in architecture.

The special emphasis of the program is the integration of sustainable building principles at all levels of the curriculum. Architectural materials and systems selection, site planning, community development and historic preservation are increasingly understood to play a vital role in the reduction of waste in terms of energy and natural resources. The program is designed to allow students to explore these emerging aspects of the profession of architecture. This critical evolution in architectural education will prepare students to take their place in the next generation of professionals.
