This undergraduate program leads to the five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B. Arch.) degree. This degree is fully accredited by NAAB and meets the certification requirements of NCARB. Graduates who complete three years of professional experience and successfully complete the individual state registration examinations may practice as licensed architects.
The core of the B. Arch. curriculum is a sequence of design studios comprising one-third of the total degree requirements. Students also complete sequences in graphics, structures, building construction, environmental technology, and architectural history. Course work in site planning, urban design, and professional practice completes the professional content of the program.
In addition, students will complete course work in a variety of other academic disciplines. Beyond mathematics, physics, and English, the student will fulfill breadth and depth requirements through elective course work in fine arts, the humanities, and the natural and social sciences.
In the fifth year of the program, students complete their studio in residence. An option also exists for a student to take all fifth-year course work at KU Medical Center in Kansas City. The emphasis of the Kansas City studio is urban design. |
