Pre-Architecture

The pre-Architecture program at UD is designed for the student who intends to pursue the professional degree in architecture (M.Arch) post graduation. The following sequence, which includes the Rome program, needs to be completed over the duration of study at UD.  The list of supplemental courses can be taken to bolster the student’s application to a Masters program.  Most students interested in architecture complete the B.A. in art at UD but this is not required, any major can include this Pre-Architecture sequence of courses.  The Pre-Arch requirements can also be completed in two years for the student who intends to transfer to a standard Bachelor of Architecture program in the junior year.
