For those seeking work at the graduate level, it provides thorough preparation for a professionally accredited Master of Architecture program or studies in related environmental design fields. The program requires two years of liberal arts education during which students take a number of pre-architecture requirements. Once admitted into the major in the junior year, students take a number of required courses that provide a broad introduction to the field of architecture and a solid foundation for the development of individualized programs at the graduate level.
