School of Architecture
Every day, our students and faculty are pushing the boundaries of design. We believe in the capacity of architecture to solve contemporary issues, uplift the human spirit, and create a better world.
Since its founding, the School of Architecture has been a leader of innovation in design. Today that tradition continues with programs centered on design excellence and unique approaches to contemporary urban, environmental, and ethical challenges. Our fully accredited program provides a rigorous professional education paired with multidisciplinary and self-directed design and research opportunities. Multiple paths to a professional degree are provided by undergraduate and graduate degree programs, including the iPal Accelerated Path to Licensure. A Masters of Advanced Architectural Studies, Certificates and Concentrations and a Design-Build summer program provide for specialized studies. Connections to a robust architectural community offer professional opportunities.

You’re invited to join us at the Leading by Design Exhibition Opening Reception @ The Gregg Museum, tomorrow September 7th from 6 to 8 pm. This exhibit is a part of continued celebrations of the College of Design’s 75th anniversary.
“This exhibition considers historical work representative of departments, phases and initiatives where the College was exploring the boundaries of the design disciplines, designing both for the problems of the day and the problems of their future. The College has always sought to help students find truth through making, to solve for complexity through engagement, and to lead — by design.
Leading by Design was curated in collaboration with the NC State University College of Design. Digital images in the exhibition are courtesy of the University Libraries Special Research Collections and recently retired faculty.”
