Architecture Coursework
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.
The Pre-College Architecture Program is exciting, fun and rewarding. It is also challenging, serious and rigorous. You can expect intense interaction with experts. The faculty:student ratio in the design studio is 1:12. At the conclusion of the summer program, you will have a private consultation with your design professor and receive a written letter of evaluation regarding your progress and aptitude in all courses. The products of this program can be used as portfolio material for future applications to college architecture, art or design programs. You will also receive 9 units of elective credit at Carnegie Mellon should you choose to later enroll in the School of Architecture as an undergraduate student.
