International study is a defining aspect of Rensselaer's architectural education. The School of Architecture offers international semester long programs in Italy, India, and China that are fully integrated into the requirements of the undergraduate degree. They have been established in three world cities that will challenge and help to define the future of architecture. Each of these programs is open by competitive application to students in their fifth semester and above. 20 to 25 students (B. Arch and M. Arch) are selected to participate in each program on the basis of academic accomplishment. Members of the Rensselaer architectural faculty direct these students and additional instruction is provided by adjunct faculty in the host city or institution. There is a program fee for participation in each of these programs. Contact: David Bell, Associate Professor 518-276-6862 or 518-276-6466 belld@rpi.edu |
