Five Areas of Focus

The following semester-by-semester chart indicates courses for successful completion of the BArch degree. The curriculum is color coded to represent five areas of pedagogical focus within the degree. Clicking on course titles will download individual course outlines.

Please note that full-time enrollment is required for the third through fifth years of the degree. This is done to ensure students get the full benefit of integrated course materials. Continued curriculum review and development continues, specifically in the creation of “cluster courses” that combine courses across disciplines.
