Major in Architecture
What is architecture?
Architecture is the art and science of designing the structures and environments where life happens — from homes and parks to schools and city skylines. When you major in architecture, you'll learn how to blend creativity, function, and sustainability to design places that impact communities, with respect to social, ecological, technological, and health factors that impact our environment. Grow as an architect and designer by understanding spatial qualities, use of materials, and the relationship between people and their surroundings.
