Overview

Choosing a degree program can be tough. The Exploring Architecture, Arts, and Design (undecided) major from Virginia Tech was created to help students who know they are interested in Architecture, Arts, and Design disciplines, but not sure exactly which major they want to pursue. Students considering the highly competitive Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Interior Design, and Industrial Design programs but aren’t sure which one of those majors they want to apply to may find the Exploring AAD major a better start.

How Does it Work?

Once accepted to the Exploring AAD major, students will pursue coursework across the College of Architecture, Arts, and Design while also taking classes that meet some of their general education curriculum course requirements. We’ve secured permission for our Exploring AAD majors to take certain classes typically limited to Architecture, Interior Design, Industrial Design, Landscape Architecture, Studio Art, Art History, Theatre Arts, and Cinema students. Exploring AAD majors are advised about these courses during new student orientation.
