Join ASU’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, the largest comprehensive design and arts school in the USA. The extraordinary facilities include the Fine Arts Center, 3,000-seat Gammage Auditorium, the Dance Studio Theatre and the Music Building with performance spaces. The preprofessional Bachelor of Science in Design program in architectural studies offered by The Design School helps students understand architecture as both a cultural expression and technical achievement, and it offers an interdisciplinary approach to architecture. Students are prepared for alternative practices with architecture firms and in related fields such as landscape architecture, engineering, art, construction, urban planning, urban design and historic preservation, or for graduate studies in the professional Master of Architecture program, in business fields or in law. This program offers two possible paths: cross-disciplinary focus and professional focus. For the first three years, all students take two project-topic courses yearly, together with other classes, to develop their skills. In the third year, students intending to pursue professional licensure as a registered architect must declare to their advisor their interest in pursuing the professional focus.
