YOUR LIFE AS A NORWICH UNIVERSITY ARCHITECTURE STUDENT
In short, it is an immersive education about the art and science of architecture.
With a focus on human-centered design, your faculty takes you on a rigorous journey to evolve your unique perspective. They inspire you to think creatively and motivate you to reach beyond what you thought possible. Learn how a structure or interior design affects people and the environment. Embrace environmental sustainability as part of our – and Vermont's -- ethos. See your potential grow as you master how to turn a concept into reality.
A SMALL SCHOOL WITH MANY ADVANTAGES
Expect engaging mentoring relationships with your faculty. Develop life-long friendships as you hone your skills, spending countless late nights in the lab with a group of your peers hustling to get the assignments exactly right.
Consider this: The School of Architecture + Art is the only accredited architecture program in Northern New England to offer integrated programs in Architecture, Business, Construction and Engineering.
