The BS in Architecture at UVA is a design-centric, studio-based program that equips students to think critically and creatively about space, structure, and sustainability. Emphasizing both conceptual design and technical skills, the curriculum combines courses in architectural theory, history, digital fabrication, and environmental systems. Students work in collaborative studios and engage with real-world urban challenges, often through community-oriented projects and interdisciplinary design thinking. The program serves as excellent preparation for graduate studies in architecture (M.Arch) or for entering the profession in design firms, planning agencies, or urban advocacy roles.
