Undergraduate Programs
The College of Architecture + Planning offers undergraduate degrees in both
architectural studies and urban planning. Both degrees represent strong
preparation for advanced work in an accredited graduate program in their
respective disciplines. They also provide a sound foundation for career
opportunities in the many fields engaged in shaping and managing the built
environment.
For the study of architecture, there is a single, very structured
curriculum at the undergraduate level. The B.S. in architectural studies is
a restricted major, with admission on a competitive basis offered once a
year for admission to the junior year class beginning with fall term. The
curriculum provides the undergraduate education required for application to
the College’s Master of Architecture Program.
The undergraduate program in urban planning emphasizes a broad and
interdisciplinary curriculum. The major offers open admissions and in
addition to a group of essential, core courses the opportunity to shape the
degree to the student’s interests through selection from a range of
offerings. Urban planning also offers a minor for students working n
related fields.
Graduate Program
The College of Architecture + Planning is presently working toward the
establishment of an accredited, graduate degree in urban planning. The
program is being phased in during the 2004 to 2006 period. Please consult
the College’s web site for information and announcements concerning this
program.
Two graduate programs are offered by the Graduate School of
Architecture. The Master of Architecture 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. A post-professional program (advanced
study beyond the professional degree) is also offered as a Master of Science
in architectural studies. Both programs offer professional training in
their respective disciplines as well as active programs of research and
public service activities.
Certificate Program
Those who hold a baccalaureate degree may complete a certificate in
urban planning. The certificate is a seven course, 21 credit hour, course
of study of particular value to those who wish to enter the field or advance
in the practice of urban planning.
Special Activities and Facilities
An active program of public service internship is available in both urban
planning and architecture.
The Center for Architectural Studies provides special opportunities for
research, professional development, and community service in architecture
and allied disciplines. ASSIST, an affiliated community design center,
provides design and planning assistance to Utah communities and nonprofit
organizations. Independently funded or endowed programs of exhibitions and
lectures by internationally noted professionals are available to the entire
community. The college’s Western Regional Architecture Program provides the
country's most active research program relating to the architectural
heritage of the western United States.
The college's excellent facilities include a large exhibition hall;
extensive slide, video and digitized media collections; wood and metal shop;
and photographic studio. All design studios are fully networked, providing
extensive peripherals for student platforms. Two computer labs house
networked workstations and PCs and provide access to the University's
supercomputer and campus wide computer network. Ongoing research in computer
visualization in conjunction with the Kajima Corporation of Japan provides
additional excellent computing facilities and research expertise.
