  • Field of Study Focus: Architecture Advising Resource GENERAL DESCRIPTION Architecture Is the Art and Science of Designing Buildings and Structures
    Field of Study Focus: Architecture Advising Resource GENERAL DESCRIPTION Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. A wider definition would include the design of the total built environment, from the macrolevel of town planning, urban design, and landscape architecture to the microlevel of creating furniture. Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing form, space, and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, and aesthetic considerations. Architectural design usually must address both feasibility and cost for the builder, as well as function and aesthetics for the user. Some programs are theory-based programs while others are design-based programs. COMMON SPECIALIZATIONS ARCHITECTURAL Emphasizes the engineering aspects of the building design and construction process. This is a multidisciplined engineer- ENGINEERING ing approach with a focus on architecture and design. Architectural Engineering includes the design of building systems including electrical, lighting, heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC), and structural systems. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY Studies the evolution and history of architecture across the world through a consideration of various influences including artistic, cultural, political, economic, and technological. ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN/ Emphasizes the integration of architecture with the environment to minimize the negative environmental impact of build- SUSTAINABLE DESIGN ings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space. Deals with design that incorporates ecologically sustainable energy and waste systems; energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conserva- tion, indoor air quality, and use of appropriate technology. GENERAL ARCHITECTURE: Prepares one for a professional career as a design specialist or a general practitioner. Employs a range of methodologies, DESIGN, THEORY, METHODS processes and philosophies, techniques, and technologies.

  • Architecture
    Architecture Architects are licensed professionals who design buildings and other structures. The design of a building involves far more than its appearance alone. Buildings also must be functional, safe, economical, and suit the needs of the people who use them. There are three main steps to become an architect: the attainment of a professional degree in architecture, work experience through an internship, and licensure through the passing of the Architect Registration Exam. Explore Become an Architect at NCARB.org. Degree Students choose from three paths to obtain a professional degree in architecture: • 5-year Bachelor of Architecture (B. Arch) degree: most transfer students do not choose this option due to course sequencing or • 2-year master’s degree after obtaining a 4-year bachelor’s degree in architecture or related area (M. Arch) or • 3 to 4-year master’s degree after obtaining a 4-year bachelor’s degree in a major other than architecture (M. Arch) Criteria of Importance for Acceptance to Architecture School May Include • Grade point average • Portfolio if required (freehand drawing, painting, graphic design, sculpture, etc.) • Personal interview • Past practical work experience related to the field (construction, building, planning, etc.) • Strong art, math, and science skills (especially physics) Important Notes • Due to the sequential nature of the coursework, transfer applicants for bachelor degree programs in architecture are often considered for admission as first year students. Four or five additional years to complete the program may be required. • Each architecture school has its own set of requirements. Research each school for specific information. • Make sure to check application deadline dates.

Most students entering the graduate program in architecture come directly from the NDSU pre-professional Bachelor of Science in Architecture program. The curriculum includes field trips to cities across the country and is supported by a professionally-staffed wood shop, digital media labs, and laser cutters and 3D printing for model- making. Both traditional and digital media are emphasized. An optional semester abroad, plus foreign study tours during summers are offered. In the United States, most 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.
