Course Information

The FAU School of architecture offers the five year, first professional degree, the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) which is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The School is an institution of shared learning, an operative organization within the ”laboratory” of the City of Fort Lauderdale, South Florida, and the Florida-Caribbean and Latin American regions. Through projects and programs that are interdisciplinary and internationally relevant, students and faculty actively learn with communities, allied professionals, artists, builders, developers, manufacturers, and governmental agencies.

The School of Architecture prepares students for the profession of architecture by developing an understanding of design as an interpretive process, where students will acquire a broadened capacity to recognize societal responsibilities and exercise ethical judgment in improving the quality of our physical environment, and with it, our quality of life.

Career Opportunity

This dual degree program is designed specifically for architecture students who have an interest in urban design and wish to have an understanding of how urban design principles and bureaucratic processes affect building design. A broader perspective of what constitutes public planning policy making will aid architects in the development of their professional careers. Alternatively, knowledge of architectural principles will be of inestimable benefit to the student who decides to concentrate his or her professional career in planning.
