The BS Architecture major creates the foundation in the field of architecture as preparation for continued education in a NAAB accredited degree program. Architecture at DAAP provides students with a comprehensive education that combines design principles, technical skills, and critical thinking. The architecture program emphasizes the integration of design theory and practice, preparing students to become well-rounded professionals in the field. 

My Co-ops, my study abroad experience, and all the inspiring faculty that have guided me throughout these past few years made my college experience meaningful.
