Overview

The Architecture program of the University of Minnesota is a flexible, self-directed degree for students keenly interested in architecture, design, design experimentation, making, and creative arts, and whose interests link architecture with other design disciplines or push the boundaries of architectural practice.

Key Features

Architecture education in the Architecture program of the University of Minnesota revolves around an exciting and wide range of self-selected design workshops that change from year-to-year.

Collectively, these seven-week workshops expose you to the processes, conditions, and principles of architectural design as it relates to both emerging and traditional practices.

You’ll immerse yourself in the design process through projects that link architecture with explorations in visual media (such as film, photography, virtual reality); ethical, social, and cultural concerns (preservation, disaster relief, neighborhood needs); building concerns (daylight, facade, material, modeling studies); and/or allied disciplines (set design, landscape architecture, and urban studies).

As a BDA student, you further customize your learning by choosing multiple elective courses in architecture, as well as electives outside the College of Design.
