We work to ensure that our graduates are prepared to:

• practice in a global economy;

• recognize the positive impact of design on the environment;

• understand the diverse and collaborative roles assumed by architects in practice;

• understand the diverse and collaborative roles and responsibilities of related disciplines;

• respect client expectations;

• advocate for design-based solutions that respond to the multiple needs of a diversity of clients and diverse populations, as well as the needs of communities; and

• contribute to the growth and development of the profession.

A primary goal of the architecture curriculum is to balance professional and technical education with a liberal arts education. Our revised curriculum for both the undergraduate and the graduate programs now allows for 45 credit hours of non-architecture courses so you can explore your other areas of interest.
