The program’s common first-year core courses consist of
drawing;
studio design;
multimedia;
history/theory; and
technology. In subsequent years, you will take courses in
professional practice, and electives in
conservation and sustainability,
urbanism,
philosophy and criticism.
Core courses are supplemented by electives drawn from other disciplines, such as
art history,
industrial design,
urban geography and
engineering. The BAS program offers students the opportunity to complete a major in an area of particular interest:
- A major in Design will appeal to those interested primarily in a professional career in architecture with an emphasis on design.
- A major in Urbanism explores architecture in the larger context of the city and raises awareness and promotes stewardship of the built environment through an examination of mass urbanization in the 20th century.
- A major in Conservation and Sustainability is offered to students interested in the conservation of historical architecture and the principles of sustainable design of buildings as well as the urban fabric.
- A major in Philosophy and Criticism emphasizes artistic and scientific theory in architecture and allows students to specialize in historical and contemporary architectural theories and principles.
