Undergraduate Program A single curriculum is offered at the undergraduate level which is structured as a preprofessional program in architecture. The curriculum provides the undergraduate education required for admission to the school s master of architecture program. The curriculum is also an appropriate undergraduate education for either of the areas of specialization offered by the school in its master of science in architectural studies program. Many other areas of graduate education or career opportunities are available using the B.S. in architectural studies as an undergraduate degree. Graduate Program Three graduate programs are offered by the Graduate School of Architecture. The master of architecture program is accredited as a professional program in architecture by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, a designation required by the state of Utah and most other states for licensure as a registered architect. Specialized programs at the graduate level are offered in the areas of computer use in architecture and historic preservation. Both programs offer professional training in their respective disciplines as well as active programs of research and public service activities.

ASSIST, an affiliated community design center, provides design and planning assistance to Utah communities and nonprofit organizations.
