Welcome to the School of Architecture and Planning

The School of Architecture and Planning, located in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to the professional education of architects and planners and others who will design, build and conserve the built environment. Utilizing the nation’s capital and other cities as design laboratories, the graduate program provides an enriching educational climate in which students investigate the realms of design, theory and building within the context of the world in which we live.

Students are exposed to a variety of architectural experiences through a choice of design studio options that include cultural studies/sacred space, digital architecture, digital fabrication, real estate development and urban design/conservation.
