The Bachelor of Science in Architecture at the University of Virginia School of Architecture is a 4-year undergraduate program designed around a rigorous pre-professional curriculum with a strong liberal arts foundation. Students share a Common First Year Curriculum, taking core courses in Architecture, Urban + Environmental Planning, and Architectural History. After the first year, students pursue a studio-based curriculum supported by courses in history/theory, building technologies, and design research methods. The program emphasizes critical inquiry, observational analysis, and design across scales, from cities to objects. Graduates often continue in the 4+2 education sequence to a professional graduate degree (M.Arch.), and the program prepares students for advanced placement in top-ranking graduate architecture programs nationwide.
