WHY STUDY AT OSU?

The School of Architecture offers students a personalized educational experience - we are just 325 students with 18 dedicated faculty! The curriculum is studio based; and each student has his or her own desk within our building. The Donald W. Reynolds School of Architecture building provides open daylit studios, a library, a fabrication shop, an auditorium, and at the heart of the building on the first floor is the ‘ARCH Centre’ - our exhibition and coffee hang out space always open for studying or catching up with friends.

The first ARCH class Freshmen take is Introduction to Architecture, with Professor Brown! Concurrent classwork includes Architectural History, English, Physics, Calculus, American Government, American History, and other elective courses. Each semester of both of our degree programs, students are enrolled in a mix of ARCH courses and courses from disciplines across campus. Architecture Academic Advisor Ms. Lori Carroll helps each student plan their schedule so that at the completion of five years of coursework - that student is ready to graduate with a degree in Architecture or Architectural Engineering!
