In conjunction with our University and School Missions, we pride ourselves in our capacities to engage architectural design, community development, emerging technologies, and transformative design leadership at multiple scales regionally and in complex urban settings.  We pride ourselves in our intellectual strengths and skills-based knowledge at multiple levels in preparing our students as emerging professionals for 21st-century global practice. 

The only B. ARCH program in the state, our competitive 5-year professional degree program currently houses around 700 registered and amazing students, welcoming ever-growing record numbers of freshmen to our program in recent years.  Students have access to cutting-edge facilities, as well as to several campus services here at KSU that can guide them toward health and safety capacities, residence life amenities, and student success initiatives on our campuses.
