Welcome to the School of Architecture web site! Undergraduates in Architecture at Rensselaer experience an exceptional combination of advanced computing, socially responsible project work and semester long programs in Italy, India and China, all led by a strong design faculty who place great emphasis on the individual. The graduate program offers Masters Degrees in Acoustics, Built Ecologies and Lighting. All can lead to the PhD in Architectural Sciences. The Lighting program is taught within the Lighting Research Center, the preeminent setting for lighting research nationally, and a model for graduate research and scholarship. I hope that in exploring the site you will get a sense of the enthusiasm and creativity that drives the School in all it's parts - if you have any questions, please give us a call. Alan Balfour Dean |
