Are you interested in revitalizing neighborhoods through sustainable development? Would you like to contribute to a "greener" future by repurposing historic buildings? Do you see yourself creating virtual environments?
The four-year Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (BS) program allows students to focus on a field allied to the profession of architecture, customize their education and earn a pre-professional degree. After completing a foundation sequence of studio and technical courses in the first two years, common to the Bachelor of Architecture curriculum, students can choose to apply to the five-year architecture program, specialize in one of three tracks — Real Estate Development, Historic Preservation, or XR Game Environments — or explore various architecture-related disciplines from a broad array of available minors.
You will not only gain valuable skills and real-world experiences, but will also pave the way for a professional credential in one of our master's programs by taking graduate courses while still an undergraduate. Take part in collaborative projects, and fieldwork, and take advantage of opportunities to study abroad, and have professional internships. There is a wide variety of elective course offerings to create the degree that fits you.
