BA Environmental Design

 

Overview

Briefly defined, architecture is the art and science of designing buildings that provide appropriate accommodation for human activities. Professional practice requires a person with the unique combination of creative ability, technical knowledge, human understanding and administrative skill.

The School of Architecture offers a five-year professional program leading to the degree Master of Architecture, plus a four-year non-professional program leading to the degree Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design.

The undergraduate Environmental Design curriculum, which leads to the Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design degree, prepares students to enter the graduate program in Architecture at MSU or serves as a basis for application to other graduate programs or for employment as a non-architect in environmental design fields. However, the Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Design degree by itself does not qualify students to become registered architects. Students wishing to become registered architects must complete the fifth year of study and receive the accredited Master of Architecture degree. A Bachelor of Architecture degree is no longer offered at MSU.
