What is an Architecture degree?

The School of Architecture offers the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.), an accredited professional degree program. Recognizing that architecture is one of the basic or root arts in human culture, the primary mission of the School of Architecture is to provide an accredited degree program that reflects the architect’s role as the primary shaper and steward of the "built environment" throughout the life cycle of its buildings and communities. Additionally, the School of Architecture acknowledges that the conscientious making of the built environment is a collaborative endeavor, and thus its secondary mission is to provide accredited degree programs in allied fields that share responsibility for influencing and implementing the nature and quality of the built environment.
