The Architecture Program at Louisiana Tech University prepares students for professional practice through a design-centered curriculum that integrates studio, technology, history, and professional studies. The program emphasizes critical thinking, technical competence, and engagement with real world architectural challenges while supporting informed career decision making.
Students complete a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies followed by Louisiana Tech’s one year, NAAB-accredited Master of Architecture, which satisfies the educational requirement for architectural licensure in the United States. Career planning, licensure pathways, professional experience requirements, and examination expectations are introduced within the curriculum and reinforced through faculty advising and program guidance.
Prospective and current students are encouraged to discuss career goals with faculty and advisors and are directed to architecture-specific career information through the following recommended resources:
