General Information

With its six academic programs and seven research centers, the College of Architecture is well-equipped to address the designed and built environment across a range of scales: from the “spoon to the city.” The academic programs – Architecture, Building Construction, Industrial Design, Music Technology, City and Regional Planning, and PhD – currently offer undergraduate degrees in the first three; all offer graduate and doctoral degrees.

The original mission of the College, at its establishment as a Department of Architecture in 1908, was to prepare students for the professional practice of architecture. Over the past hundred years, the College has grown in response to changes in the professions and in society. The College is now a multidisciplinary venue for teaching, research, and service that engages multiple dimensions of the designed and built – and lived – environment.

The current undergraduate and graduate programs -- and the degrees they offer -- are described in the following sections. The modifications proposed to the undergraduate curriculum are described below.

All work produced in the College as part of a degree program becomes the property of the College; it may be retained or returned at the discretion of the faculty. The faculty also reserves the right to refuse for credit any project executed outside the precincts of the College or otherwise produced without proper coordination with the faculty.
