Our commitment is to engage architecture in its civic, social, and professional realms for the ultimate benefit of the built environment and those who use it.

Programs
The 133-credit undergraduate program (Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Technology) has traditionally prepared students for a wide assortment of careers in architecture, design, and construction. It has been estimated by the faculty that approximately one third of the graduates each year seek and are successful entering professional graduate programs in architecture. The undergraduate program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission/ Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET), one of only a handful of architecture programs in the U.S. with that distinction. Our Master of Architecture degree program was re-accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) in September 2017 for the maximum 8 year accreditation. The 64-credit graduate architecture program supports the mission of the University while responding to the needs of the state's architectural profession, the region, and the city. With the undergraduate program offering a pre-professional degree in architecture, the graduate professional-degree program balances theoretical, technical, professional, and creative knowledge.
