The four-year Bachelor of Environmental Design degree program prepares students for careers in industries that support the built environment. Coursework encourages multidisciplinary and comparative perspectives with opportunities for team-oriented methods of production. Internships at national and international offices encourage students to apply knowledge gained in their courses to real world projects, to learn from practitioners and to incorporate experiential learning into their classwork.

The two-year Master of Architecture program provides graduates with the required educational background to enter the professional practice of architecture and numerous related fields. In the program, students explore a range of professional directions, and faculty encourage students to develop an individual course of study that blends the emphasis areas of architectural design; history, theory, criticism, design computation, and interior architecture. The program is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, fulfilling the educational component of professional licensure as an architect.

The Master of Science in Architecture degree is a nonprofessional degree for students seeking advanced knowledge in preparation for careers in architectural research, university teaching, or specialized practice and consulting. The degree may also serve as a pathway toward a Ph.D. in architecture.
