The Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BS Arch) consists of 124 credit hours of undergraduate courses. The coursework included in this degree plan provides students with knowledge of architecture, the construction industry, and related fields in addition to the core curriculum requirements of the university. Your architecture coursework is typically a semester-long project that results from intense study and practice over the length of the semester.

Students who graduate from this program cannot sit for the ARE (licensing exam) but are prepared to continue into the M Arch program where they can obtain a professional degree. 

Recommended Curriculum

This is a 4-year program; students are encouraged to spend their summers interning.
