\n Architectural Studies
Minor<\/div>\n <\/h1>\n<\/header>\n \n\n\n\n\n

Expand your creative toolkit. A minor in architectural studies is an excellent way to stimulate your imagination and discover new approaches to solving problems while gaining an understanding of architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leveraging the expertise and facilities of our Department of Architecture, our minor is a succinct study that explores the intersection of design thinking and human behavior. It’s a great addition to your major, whether that’s engineering, the arts, urban studies or something entirely different.<\/p>\n\n\n

What it’s like to study at the School of Architecture & Urban Planning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Expect engaging coursework that challenges you to think like a designer, blending technical skills with creativity. You\u2019ll explore how architecture and the built environment affects human behavior, and you\u2019ll work alongside peers from across the university to tackle real-world problems. The minor also offers a glimpse into the possibilities of career paths in architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, we offer graduate programs in architecture and urban planning that do not require specific undergraduate degrees. That means our minor could lead you to graduate studies here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Architectural Studies Minor Program Details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Minor in Architectural Studies is designed for students who are not majoring in Architecture or Architectural Studies. Some students use the minor to explore possible graduate studies in architecture and some develop architectural specialties with other disciplines, such as engineering, studio art, business or theater production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coursework introduces essential concepts that bridge architecture, design, history and more. You\u2019ll gain skills in drawing, fabrication, and visual communication \u2014 plus insight from practicing architects and visiting professionals who bring fresh perspectives and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
