Degrees
Our curriculum breaks down the complex into building blocks that incrementally add to the skills, experience, knowledge and critical thinking necessary to a successful career in architecture. Our curriculum covers sustainability, construction, materials, environmental systems, structure, computer applications such as Building Information Modeling, regulatory issues such as codes and zoning, and accessibility to name just a few. However, primary to your education is the design process—a unique method of solving problems at multiple scales—that you will develop and apply in your design studios. Because design is so important, our program includes a design studio every semester.
While our curriculum is highly ranked and regarded, it is the culture of architecture in Seaton/Regnier Hall that is our true strength. You will be joining a vibrant community of passionate students and faculty dedicated to excellence and truly making a difference.
