The Pre-College Architecture Program requires enthusiasm, curiosity and dedication. Our program does not require previous design, drawing or computer experience. If you have those skills, our faculty and program will challenge you to develop them further.

Admissions to the Pre-College program are conducted through the University's central Office of Admissions. The Pre-College application is available here. Applications should be addressed to:
