About the course
The Department of Architecture offers two undergraduate majors providing a deep and broad undergraduate education in the fields of architecture, art and design. Course 4 leads to the Bachelor of Science in Architecture, and Course 4-B leads to the Bachelor of Science in Art and Design. Situated in MIT's rich and intense educational environment, the programs emphasize the interconnected relationship between architecture, design, building technology, computation, and the history, theory and criticism of architecture, art and design. The Department's extensive offerings reflect the commitment to the cultural, social, political, technological and ecological issues of the built environment, and the teaching of art and design not just as a means to an end, but as a form of knowledge and creative practice. Committed to a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach, both programs challenge our students to be creative, innovative, and responsible leaders in the field. Students graduating from the Bachelor of Science in Architecture often choose to go on to graduate school to earn a Master of Architecture. Others enter into related fields or the profession. Most states require that an individual intending to become an architect holds an accredited degree. There are two types of degrees that are accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB): 1) the Bachelor of Architecture, which requires a minimum of five years of study, and 2) the Master of Architecture, which requires a minimum of three years of study following an unrelated bachelor?s degree.
