School of Architecture
The School of Architecture provides deep immersion in the discipline of architecture, intensified by CMU’s culture of interdisciplinary innovation and creative inquiry - meaning you’ll be collaborating with CMU artists, scientists and scholars of all kinds. This world-class architecture education is enhanced by the fundamental premise that architectural excellence demands both rigorous training in fundamentals and the development of unique specializations. Though every School of Architecture student graduates with intensive architecture knowledge, no two graduates leave with the same education.
