Overview

The Expanding the Boundaries of Architectural Practice program offered by Southern California Institute of Architecture is designed to enable students to cultivate a point of view and personal aesthetic. The curriculum begins with a four-semester core sequence of design studios and seminar courses through which students develop a framework for engaging the discipline of architecture and a strong foundation for critical inquiry and experimentation.

Key Facts

Students continue on to two semesters of Vertical Studios which match small, combined groups of students from SCI-Arc’s undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate programs with faculty and visiting architects leading design projects that explore a wide variety of focuses and interests. Applied research in advanced studios and seminars in the final semesters of the program prepare students for Graduate Thesis.
