The undergraduate professional program is five years in length and
leads to the Bachelor of Architecture, a first professional degree accredited by the National
Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The students are highly
qualified and undertake their architectural studies from the very
beginning of their first year. Situated within the broader context of
Rensselaer, the School of Architecture also draws widely upon other
professional programs to build a collaborative interdisciplinary
approach to design. Upon admission there are no further junctures in
the program that require additional admission decisions.
Equipment, Supplies, and Travel
Most studio courses do not require textbooks, but rely heavily on software, printing, and modeling and students should anticipate costs associated with the purchase of materials. First-year students will have an opportunity to purchase a basic kit with the tools, etc. needed for their design studio. A technology fee is assessed to cover some, but not all, of the software and services provided to the students. Travel and field trips to nearby cities are also a regular and strategic part of the design curriculum. Students should also be prepared to cover costs associated with regional travel.
