General Information
Introduction
The study of architecture and landscape architecture allows students to generate physical solutions to complex environmental design problems that often have competing economic, social, and political parameters. The built environment professions attract those who have a wide range of interests and skills and wish to make a unique contribution to society.
Vision: Global Connections
The School of Architecture inspires transformative design at the global scale with preeminence in the Asia-Pacific region.
Mission Statement: Building for the 21st Century
The School of Architecture responds to our unique location in the Asia-Pacific region and recognizes the privilege and responsibility to address cultural, environmental, and social diversity. We commit to passionate and engaging community participation through teaching, learning, research, professional practice, and service.
DArch Accreditation Notice
In the U.S., most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit professional degree programs in architecture offered by institutions with U.S. regional accreditation, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, the Master of Architecture, and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted an eight-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may require a pre-professional undergraduate degree in architecture for admission. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
The School of Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program:
Doctor of Architecture
- Track I: (preprofessional degree in architecture [126/120 credits] + 90 graduate credits)
- Track II: (non-professional degree [120 credits min.] + 108 graduate credits)
