UMD’s BS in Architecture is a pre-professional degree that introduces students to the foundations of architectural design, theory, history, and technology. Emphasizing sustainability and urbanism, students engage in studio-based learning while gaining proficiency in architectural drawing, modeling, and computer-aided design. With access to the award-winning School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation, students explore contemporary challenges in the built environment and prepare for graduate-level study or roles in design firms, city planning, and construction management.
