Graduates possess strong theoretical and practical knowledge, applying critical thinking and creativity to develop spatial solutions that respond to contemporary local and global challenges. Through innovative design, graduates enhance the built environment and improve the quality of life.
Furthermore, graduates conduct research on the social and spatial dimensions of architecture across various scales and complexities, demonstrating preparation for careers in both the public and private sectors. Graduates also approach design holistically, integrating historical and theoretical foundations while upholding ethical and professional standards. With a systemic approach to architectural projects, graduates consider multiple stakeholders and cultural influences, leveraging advanced technologies and adhering to local and global regulations. Graduates’ expertise includes construction technologies, sustainability, and structural systems, enabling effective project management focusing on efficiency, performance, and environmental responsibility. Graduates are also proficient in architectural representation, mastering graphic communication, coding systems, and contemporary digital tools to convey design concepts effectively.
Finally, graduates demonstrate a strong ethical and humanistic commitment, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a dedication to lifelong learning and professional growth.
Demographic Data - provides information about student enrollment disaggregated by gender and ethnicity, offering insight into the demographic diversity within the program.
Student Completion - provides information about retention and graduation rates calculated through the 2021–2022 academic year, based on cohorts of new, first-time students entering the program in the fall semester, regardless of enrollment in the daytime or evening instructional delivery (if applicable). These calculations exclude incoming transfer students. Specifically, retention rates are reported at one-year and two-year intervals.
In addition, graduation rates are calculated according to each program’s duration length (100%) and within 150% of the normal time for a bachelor’s degree. Gender-based graduation data reflects only the distribution of actual graduates within each cohort and does not consider the original gender composition of the entering group.
Scholarship Information - provides information about student financial support, with data disaggregated by the type of scholarship awarded.
Geographic Data - provides information about the geographic composition of students enrolled in the program, based on place of origin.
Additional Demographic Data - provides information about students’ marital status, disability status, and first-generation college attendance.
All programs utilize the Brightspace platform to collect and assess student work and to compile data and evidence of student achievement. The resulting outcomes and their analysis, which focus on identifying areas for improvement, are presented in the program’s assessment report. In the graphic below, the most recent assessment period for each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) is indicated, along with the percentage representing the level of achievement of the expected performance standard for that PLO, based on the rubric used to evaluate student work.
Note: Multiple descriptions per PLO code reflect updates over time. All versions are shown to support historical and comparative analysis.
