Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BS Arch) program equips students with the fundamentals of architectural design. Through courses in architectural history, visualization, and technology, students develop a strong foundation for design studio—the core of architectural education. These 6-credit studio courses progressively build students' ability to design increasingly complex buildings with greater independence. Ultimately, design studio encourages students to visually communicate architectural concepts while engaging in dialogue with diverse instructors.

Before their final two semesters, students choose between two tracks: Architectural Design or Architectural Studies. The Architectural Design track maximizes studio curriculum, providing valuable design experience that culminates in a comprehensive portfolio suitable for admission to a Master of Architecture program with advanced standing. This pre-professional track prepares students for the workforce, fostering strong design and collaboration skills. Conversely, the Architectural Studies track offers a more flexible path, allowing students to explore individual interests and projected career paths.
