School of Architecture

The Bachelor of Architecture (First-Professional) degree program is the gateway to becoming a socially conscious designer. From teaching time-honored building traditions to sustainable and innovative technologies, the curriculum of this program gives students the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).

The Bachelor of Arts in Architecture degree is designed to allow career-focused students to enter the workforce as quickly as possible or to continue with their education by earning a Master of Architecture (First-Professional) degree. With a curriculum focused on familiarizing students with innovations, products, and building forms, this bachelor’s degree program gives students a strong foundation of architectural design from a technical and aesthetic perspective and prepares them for their professional future.

The mission of the Bachelor of Interior Architecture & Design program is to nurture innovative and inspired designers able to conceive, plan and detail interior environments that support and enhance user experience and harmonious living.

The Master of Architecture I (First-Professional) degree gives students with an undergraduate degree in architecture or a related field the opportunity to earn a professional master’s degree in architecture. Our program is recognized by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) as part of the requirements for eventual architectural licensure.

The Master of Science in Architecture empowers forward-thinking designers to shape the future of the built environment without pursuing licensure. This research-driven program explores complex urban challenges through a thesis or graduation project. With a focus on cutting-edge design, smart materials, and energy-efficient strategies, graduates gain the tools to create healthier, more intelligent cities.

The Master of Architectural Studies (5+1) degree is designed for students with a 5-year Bachelor of Architecture (First-Professional) degree who want to advance their knowledge of architecture through focused study and design-studio work. This one-year program builds on foundational knowledge in art and design and integrates thesis-based learning and coursework to explore architecture in the context of history and theory, tectonics, urban studies, and professional practice.

To provide students with additional opportunities to broaden and enrich their educations, a minor is a program of study that is distinct from or supplements a student’s major.
