Course Overview

Students learn the fundamentals of design, how to apply them to the design of buildings, neighborhoods and cities, and how to graphically communicate a design solution.

The College of Architecture and Planning Bachelor of Science in Architecture (BSArch) degree program is a four-year, pre-professional program primarily preparing top graduates to enter accredited professional Master of Architecture programs. It also prepares students for many careers related to architecture and for graduate programs in disciplines such as landscape architecture, interior architecture, urban and regional planning, historic preservation, and urban design.

BSArch students fulfill the majority of their general studies courses in their first two years of study before entering our studio-based curriculum in their final two years.

Students in the BSArch program benefit from close contact with graduate architecture students and with architects and other design, construction, and real estate professionals in downtown Denver and the metro region. 

Our Bachelor of Science in Architecture is a STEM-designated program, officially approved by the Colorado Board of Higher Education (CIP code: 04.0902). The STEM designation allows our Bachelor of Science in Architecture students to apply for the Department of Homeland Security’s optional practical training (OPT) extension program for F-1 students with STEM degrees. Upon completion of a STEM-designated degree, students may extend their stay in the United States an additional 24 months.
