Overview

Key features

In this wide range of interests is a common concern for the well-being of individuals, communities, and natural systems and for constructing and maintaining the highest quality in our built and natural environments.

The Architectural Studies major program at the University of Utah requires two years of general education, during which students take a number of pre-architecture requirements. Once admitted into the major at the end of the sophomore year, students take courses offering a broad introduction to the field of architecture and a solid foundation for graduate study or a career in one of the many aspects of the building industry, including providing a thorough preparation for the accredited Master of Architecture degree, which is required for professional licensure as an architect.

Students start with Design Foundations – three courses combining thinking and doing with seeing and representing. Students then can apply for our sophomore semester abroad in Italy. In the major, design studios are taught together with courses like research methods to provide immersive integrated learning experiences.
