What is B. Arch?

Foundation Phase (First Year): Introduces Practical Architecture Skills

Hand drawing

Model making

History & theory of architecture

Electives

Professional Phase (Second-Fourth Year): Emphasize skills in five major areas

Design & communications

History & Theory

Technologies

Practice & Management

Electives

Engaged Learning (Fifth Year) Students work for a year in collaboration, either on directed research, study abroad or on projects (design/build, urban design, or other service learning opportunities). Applications Studios provide opportunities to work with clients and community groups. They allow students to build knowledge and skill in areas of particular personal interest. This enrichment is then brought to bear in their capstone project. In the penultimate semester, students do the preparatory work for their final project, which is executed in the final semester.

Career Opportunities While most graduates go on to become registered architects, there are other career paths graduates sometimes take:

Art ProductionConservationConstructionEngineeringInterior and Spatial DesignProject ManagementSoftware Design and DevelopmentTheater, Television, Film Production Design

The B. Arch is a five-year program that has implemented a sustainability practice across the entire studio curricula. Using our own Sonoran Desert setting, students learn to design to its extreme conditions; then, are challenged to apply these skills to other climates. The program is broken down into three phases:
