Programs in Architecture

The College of Architecture, through its programs in architecture, interior design, and community and regional planning, offers a broad educational and research base for the study of the directions of a changing world. Even though the architecture and related programs address the multi-faceted heritage of our many cultures, they also deal with the challenge of tomorrow as we are building it today. Students and faculty of the College of Architecture seek the best of the past to carry through today into the uncertainty of tomorrow.

Students pursue studies on an interdisciplinary basis through the professional staff within the College and also through organized, coordinated study programs involving professional, scientific, and academic staff from many departments within the University.
