The B. Arch is a five year undergraduate first professional degree designed for students who are eager to pursue architecture as a career choice. Approximately 70% of the curriculum consists of professional courses and electives with liberal arts courses and electives comprising the other 30%. The design studio is the core of our architecture curriculum, wherein students recognize, generate, and explore design ideas. In the design studio, the student synthesizes various aspects of the curriculum that develop in increasing complexity as students advance through the program. Students begin design courses in the first year of study receiving immediate exposure to the creative thought processes in visual thinking. Courses in architectural history and theory, technology, digital applications and professional practice, offer focused and extensive study of the myriad sub-disciplines that comprise architectural inquiry. In addition, required electives taken outside the school reinforce the School of Architecture’s goal to provide a comprehensive college education.
