The first two years of our five-year undergraduate program features a core liberal curriculum as well as studies in architectural history, design fundamentals, and building technology. Upon successful completion of the two year core program, you will have the option of continuing in our four-year B.S.A.T. program, or applying for admission to our NAAB-accredited B.Arch. program.
If accepted into the B.Arch. program, you?ll be required to complete an additional three years of design studios, highlighted by small classes taught by leading professionals who encourage creative risk-taking and collaboration. Each year, you?ll learn to solve progressively more complex challenges with an increasingly well-developed set of representation and design skills:?
- Third year is dedicated to solving architectural problems involving small but increasingly more complex building programs.
- Fourth year focuses on urban and community design and building design programs that require inventive structural systems.
- Fifth year is devoted to a terminal thesis project that will demonstrate your cumulative grasp of all of the factors that influence the design of a complex work of architecture.
