Hey everyone! I'm particularly interested in studying architecture, and would love to stay in Texas for college. Any recommendations on which Texas universities offer solid programs in architecture?
Sure thing! There are a number of Texas universities with reputable architecture programs that you might want to consider:
1. The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin): Known for its highly-ranked School of Architecture, UT Austin offers both a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies and a Bachelor of Architecture professional degree. The school is known for its emphasis on sustainable design and community engagement.
2. Texas A&M University: The College of Architecture at Texas A&M offers a number of different options for students interested in architecture, including a Bachelor of Environmental Design degree and a five-year professional Master of Architecture degree.
3. Rice University: The School of Architecture in Rice is well-regarded. It offers a pre-professional Bachelor of Arts in Architecture and a professional Bachelor of Architecture.
4. University of Houston: The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design at Houston offers a Bachelor of Architecture degree and places a strong emphasis on urban design and sustainability.
It's important to note that when choosing an architecture program, you'll want to consider not only the curriculum and reputation of the university but also if the program's specific design philosophy and areas of focus align with your own interests in architecture. You might want to set up a campus visit, if you haven't already, to get a better feel for the programs and to talk to current students or faculty. You'll get a sense of the resources available, understand the architectural style and methodology endorsed, and get to learn about additional opportunities like study abroad or internships.
