Academics

The Architecture Program offers degrees at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

The undergraduate program features a four-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture that is complemented by a two-year Master of Architecture degree.  This type of program (often described as a 4+2 curriculum) features a pre-professional baccalaureate degree, which when combined with an accredited professional degree, qualifies recipients for internship and eventual professional registration.

At the graduate level the two degrees are offered in the Architecture Program – the accredited Master of Architecture degree and the post-professional Master of Science in Architecture degree with a concentration in Urban Design.

Students may also gain additional expertise in areas of interest through Certificate Programs in Historic Preservation and Urban Design.

High School students may also gain insights into the architecture profession while earning college credit through the Discovering Architecture workshop held annually during the summer session.
