The Minor in Architectural Studies is designed for students not enrolled in the Architectural Studies major who are interested in a unique opportunity to stimulate their imagination and learn creative approaches to problem solving.  This program will complement their current academic program with an in-depth understanding of architecture. The coursework exposes students to the fundamental principles that integrate design thinking with human behavior. Some students may wish to use the minor as a means of investigating possible graduate studies in architecture and some way wish to develop architectural specialties with other disciplines.
