Yale's Bachelor of Arts in Architecture provides a comprehensive liberal arts education focused on architecture as both a creative and intellectual pursuit. The curriculum emphasizes design, history, theory, urbanism, and landscape, drawing from Yale's rich interdisciplinary environment. This non-professional degree prepares students for advanced study or careers in related fields but is not accredited for architectural licensure. Students gain skills in critical thinking, design, and communication, and participate in small seminars and studio courses with faculty from the Yale School of Architecture. The program is open only to Yale College students and is intended for those seeking a broad foundation in architecture within a liberal arts context.
