The Penn State Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) is a five-year, NAAB-accredited professional program designed to prepare students for licensure and leadership in architecture and related fields. The curriculum combines architectural design, modeling, history, structures, materials, systems integration, and theory, along with professional development and a required semester abroad in cities like Rome or Copenhagen. Students benefit from expansive studio spaces and a research-rich environment, engaging directly in design from the first day. The program prepares graduates to sit for the Architect Registration Examination following required internship experience, the essential step toward professional licensure in the United States.
