Overview

About this Degree

The School seeks to train designers, scholars, preservationists, and advocates for the built environment who will play a leading role in their professions and may translate their skills and advocacy to a variety of disciplines and arenas.

Toward these ends, the Architecture graduate curriculum at the University of Notre Dame promotes a holistic approach to design education and the understanding of detail, building, and city as a continuous and interdependent scalar spectrum.

It engages both intellectual endeavor and the practical teaching of craft in order that the best lessons of historic precedent might be learned, expanded upon, and combined with a judicious use of contemporary strategies, materials, and methodologies in order to contribute toward buildings and urbanism which are environmentally and culturally sustainable.

Programme Structure

Until recently, the School of Architecture graduate programs offered two different “tracks”, focused respectively on classical architecture and urban design.

The intent was to offer students an opportunity, for two semesters following their foundational semester(s), to delve into the particular issues of one scale or the other.
As part of the School’s recent decision to reinforce the inseparability of building design and urbanism, students are no longer required to select one of two tracks which have been seen by some as disparate fields of study.
