Penn State’s BA in Architecture introduces students to the art and science of designing physical spaces that respond to cultural, environmental, and technological needs. The curriculum blends architectural history, theory, and hands-on studio work with modern tools like CAD, BIM, and digital fabrication. With a focus on sustainability, urban planning, and human-centered design, students engage in real-world design projects and collaborate with peers in engineering, landscape design, and construction management.
