About the Architecture Program
The Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program at Utah Valley University recently achieved initial candidacy from the National Architecture Accreditation Board (NAAB). In addition, this exciting new program features a fast-growing undergraduate student body (250+), study abroad programs in Greece and Italy, a 5,000-volume book donation from the prominent architect Allan Greenberg, and a growing group of collegial faculty. Building on UVU's unique dual mission model of higher education, the B.Arch is a five-year professional degree that prepares “master builder” graduates who are ready for leadership in the profession of architecture and urban design. The B.Arch degree is designed for students who are continuing from UVU's Engineering Design Technology (Architectural Drafting Track) A.S. degree in the Architecture & Engineering Design (AED) Department. The AED Department consists of 13 full-time faculty and a growing number of adjunct faculty from industry who teach courses in drafting, surveying, mapping, and engineering design. Following the associate degree, students connect current technologies with training in classical architecture to conceive of comprehensive architectural design that meets contemporary needs. The program promotes a built environment that bolsters genuine communities through architecture that is durable, useful, beautiful, and human scaled. The holistic foundation seeks to balance the art of building with aesthetic sensibilities, historical precedents with contemporary needs, craftsmanship with digital technologies, and theory with practice-based application.
