• The undergraduate program in architecture is designed to minimize the time required to complete the curriculum leading to the professional degree. The initial years of the program blend general education requirements with foundational work in design thinking and making, design media (manual drawing, digital media, and physical model-making), architectural history and theory, building methods and materials, as well as an introductory design studio. 
  • One feature of the program is the potential for a junior-year semester abroad, which is facilitated by a partnership between the University of Maryland and the International Studies Institute in Florence, Italy.
