Dear Prospective Student ,

The mission of the University of Virginia School of Architecture is to educate the next generation of innovative leaders who will build a world that is more compelling, resilient, sustainable, and equitable. The school offers three undergraduate majors: architecture, architectural history, and urban and environmental planning.

The architectural history major examines the historic development of buildings, landscapes, and urban form through critical analysis of social and cultural contexts. The urban and environmental planning major explores the impact that global urbanization has on the built environment and develops strategies of design, policy, and community engagement to ensure healthy cities for the future. The architecture major offers two pre-professional tracks: one that focuses on design process and development at the scale of buildings and another that is a design-thinking track addressing broader issues of creative design and entrepreneurship.
