The College of Architecture has pioneered a course of study that integrates architecture with the liberal arts, allowing you to acquire a rigorous design education while exploring other academic areas. The curriculum prepares you to be a flexible thinker and to find creative solutions—not just to architectural problems, but to a wide variety of challenges. You learn to evaluate, organize, and refine ideas, developing skills to be a thoughtful, effective member of society and the profession of architecture.
The curriculum is centered around the design studio, where small groups of students and a faculty member work together on design projects that employ a "learn by doing" methodology. As an Architecture student, you will benefit from an intimate environment for learning; there are approximately 50 students in the freshman class, and studio class sizes are typically 12 students to one professor throughout your undergraduate program.
