Architecture

Kennesaw State University’s College of Architecture and Construction Management offers Georgia’s only undergraduate accredited five-year professional degree in architecture: the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch). Our NAAB-accredited program provides students with unique educational opportunities, including Focus Studio, a research-based studio featuring invited critics, and Thesis, a structured, year-long design investigation. The program also offers organized travel opportunities throughout the U.S. and abroad, broadening students’ perspectives.

The first two years of the program and its curriculum are designed to introduce basic skill sets in design, design thinking, drawing, and building technologies. The last three years of the program are designed to enhance students’ understanding of architecture’s relationship with people, culture, and the built environment, while emphasizing integrative design, history and theory, structural systems, professional practice, and urbanism.

The Department of Architecture supports the broader mission of the University by preparing students for professional practice in the design, planning, development, and stewardship of the built environment. The program emphasizes invention, creativity, and craft through hands-on exploration as the foundation for technological innovation. It integrates  cultural knowledge, communication, history, and criticism into architectural making, encouraging a holistic approach to the discipline.
