An Architecture major centers on the design studio, where students develop projects from concept through drawings and physical or digital models, alongside coursework in architectural history and theory, building structures, environmental and mechanical systems, construction materials and methods, site planning, and building codes. Programs lean heavily on CAD and BIM software, hand drawing, and model-making, and most require studio sequences each term that build toward a comprehensive design project.
Degrees come in a few forms: a five-year Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch), a four-year pre-professional bachelor's followed by a Master of Architecture (M.Arch), or a direct M.Arch for students entering from another field. The professional B.Arch or M.Arch is the path most students take toward licensure.
Graduates work in architecture and engineering firms, often beginning as architectural designers before completing the experience and examination requirements to become licensed. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 2024 median annual wage for architects was $96,690, and employment of architects is projected to change 3.9% from 2024 to 2034. Related paths include urban and regional planning, interior architecture, and construction-focused roles.
