Currently Viewing: All Majors • Architecture and Planning

Degree programs in architecture and planning prepare students for a professional focus on the aesthetic, technical, and social development of the built environment. Architecture can refer to anything from simply the construction of a building to the style in which the building was designed. Planning often involves improving urban areas and surrounding regions, and determining how public and private land can be preserved, developed, and used.
