Architecture is a profession that combines art and science in near equal measures; the technical demands of a work of architecture are equally as important as the way in which the building responds to human needs and the context and culture. Students of architecture must be ready and willing to commit to the math and science demanded of the required technical students, while at the same time being appreciative of the artistic endeavor.
Dedicated faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a community of like-minded students create a learning environment that is unmatched. Students are challenged through the studio based approach to design education, many times those challenges come in the form of design competitions.
