What you’ll learn with an Architectural Design major

  1. Get the same solid foundation as Architecture majors during your first and second year
    In their first and second year, Architectural Design students take the same courses in construction methods, design drawings, and architectural environment studies as students in the Architecture major. Both large structures and smaller residential buildings are built on the same core principles. The quickest way to your future goals is taking the time to lay a solid foundation.
  2. Get critical residential design knowledge on the latest equipment, trends, and more
    Housing trends change with the times, as does the equipment homes are furnished with. Keeping pace with current developments and taking the time to understand the function of state-of-the-art equipment are critical skills for residential designers.
  3. Set your sights on becoming an interior designer or planning specialist!
    Interior designers are sought-after professionals for their knowledge of interiors, their artistic sense, and their ability to put together a solid interior plan. Many Architectural Design students earn their qualifications while still in school, giving them an advantage when they look for jobs after graduation.
