The School of Architecture offers a fully NAAB-accredited, undergraduate degree program in the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.). The Bachelor of Architecture degree program at UNC Charlotte's School of Architecture offers students who have completed a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Architecture (or equivalent degree) from a NAAB-accredited institution the opportunity to continue their architectural education within a vibrant urban community that includes a broad collection of architectural practices, consultant firms, and other design-related resources. The location of the program in Uptown Charlotte at the Center City Building embeds students and faculty within the lifeblood of the profession. The program is structured to take advantage of the personal and material resources of the city with the objective to produce civic-minded and technologically adept professionals. The curriculum of the Bachelor of Architecture Program has evolved in recent years in response to significant developments in architectural theory, practice, and education. The program foregrounds two critical contemporary issues in particular: the emergence of new sensibilities regarding the role of architecture in the public realm and the transformative role of technology in the production of the built environment. As the decentralized complexity of contemporary life begins to resist traditional formal hierarchies, program typologies, and notions of site, future architects need to re-imagine historical paradigms of building, function, and context. Likewise, as traditional modes of design and construction become increasingly subjected to new technologies, architects need to reconsider how designers navigate and control multiple modes of technology, and how the traditional distinction between design and construction is evolving.
