The curriculum has two levels of study. The first provides a foundation of understanding on which to build a second level of advanced study. The foundation program culminates at the end of the third year with a studio project that assists students in summarizing what they have learned and making the transition toward the more independent studies of the advanced program. This special integrative semester is also a transition to a more mature commitment to becoming an architect. |
