Temple University Tyler School of Art and Architecture 24 courses
The Bachelor of Science in Architecture, offered by the Department of Architecture, is a 4-year pre-professional program. Architectural design studios that focus on the integration of thinking and making through design are central to the curriculum. Students take courses in the architecture foundation program for the first two years of study then focus on architectural design in the third and fourth year. Sequential studio courses provide the means for integration and synthesis of academic and professional knowledge that is learned in courses in building technology, architectural history and theory, and representation. Dedicated studio, woodshop, digital fabrication, and digital lab spaces allow for in-house drawing, modeling, and digital visualization.
