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 in related fields.
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 College of Architecture and Planning. 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.
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.
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.
