Overview

About this Degree

We embrace the idea that architecture and urbanism do more than merely provide the shelter where we live; they shape the public and private realms in which we inhabit our planet and develop our cultures, economies and futures.

Key Facts

First-year Architecture students at the University of Notre Dame develop fundamental hand drawing and drafting skills alongside courses taken for the University Core Curriculum. The sophomore year forms the foundation for the principles of construction and their relationship to architectural form and the built environment. The third year, which the students spend entirely in Rome, explores traditional urbanism and how classical architecture facilitates a humane and sustainable way of life. By the fourth year, issues of regionalism and cross-cultural values are explored through the typological understanding of the city and its architecture developed during the previous three years. By the fifth year, the students have forged individual viewpoints about architecture and engage a diversity of issues that culminate in their spring thesis studio.

General requirements

Submission of a Portfolio for Undergraduate Admission to Notre Dame in Architecture:
Portfolio Content: We are not looking for a particular set of skills. Basically, show us what you have learned so far. Free hand drawing and painting are the skills we look for most, but photography, sculpture, ceramics, woodworking and model-building can all be strong elements as well. Drafting, by hand or computer, is somewhat helpful, especially if it shows a strong understanding of architectural drawing conventions.
