Architects combine creative vision, innovation, technological understanding and architectural theory to shape how we live.
The Architecture major Handbook entry stipulates the complete requirements for the Architecture major.
Students who are planning to undertake the Master of Architectural Engineering will need to complete additional prerequisites. More information on prerequisites can be found here.
Always use the University Handbook as your primary course planning tool.
