Study Patterns

The expertise within the Department of Architecture is exceptionally diverse and deep. The faculty is prepared to support patterns of study in various areas of specialization:

These patterns of study are for:
  Master of Architecture
  Master of Science in Architecture
  Doctor of Philosophy

The field of architecture synthesizes ecological, technological, social, behavioral, and aesthetic contexts and constraints into healthy sustainable human and natural environments. The graduate program provides an opportunity to examine the past, equip for the present, and prepare for future challenges in architecture.

Through substantial course offerings, faculty expertise, an extensive library collection, and up-to-date computer and electronic tools, the department is exceptionally qualified to support directed or independent study in design and research programs in:

  Architectural Computing
  Architectural Design
  Architectural History and Theory
  Energy Optimization and Health and Environmental Systems
  Health Facilities Planning and Design
  Historic Preservation
  Interior Architecture
  Sustainable Architecture
  Construction Management
  Visual Studies
  Visualization Sciences
 

A student may follow a particular pattern of study or an approved focus of his or her own design that is consistent with what the department is able to support.

Graduate studies in architecture are complemented by programs in other departments in the college offering courses in the fields of construction science, landscape architecture, land development, and urban and regional planning, and supported by College of Architecture research centers.

Courses listed under each area are indicative of the character of that area of study and are not meant to indicate a specific curriculum or to be a complete listing of courses available.
