To provide a general university education within the context of Georgia Tech and within the study of architecture, both as an intellectual discipline and as a profession. The objective of the program is to expose students to many different fields of study while demonstrating how they are related.
To provide a multidisciplinary foundation of education in architecture, with a focus on the architectural design studio as its primary setting. In addition to design studios, the program includes required courses in the subject areas of architectural history and theory, architectural technology, and visual arts and design computing.
To provide for the development of individual student interests through a substantial number of free and required electives, which comprise almost one-third of the undergraduate curriculum. This flexibility allows a student to pursue specific interests within the discipline of architecture; within the associated programs of City Planning, Building Construction or Industrial Design; or in joint programs with other disciplines on campus.
