BS Architecture Studies

The Department of Architecture prides itself on providing an accessible and intellectually rigorous exploration of design. The department emphasizes a creative and collaborative approach that is spirited, socially progressive, and environmentally responsive. Students are encouraged to follow their passion in whatever direction it takes them.

The architecture department’s courses and internships fuse originality and inspiration with technical expertise and formal innovation, giving our majors the tools they need to succeed. The graduate program offers degrees in Architecture, Historic Preservation, Landscape Architecture, and Regional Architecture.

In the University of Massachusetts Amherst College of Humanities and Fine Arts, we celebrate the powers of ideas. Not only do we study the ideas of great thinkers, writers, and artists, but we equip our students with the abilities to form new ones in order to ignite progress.

With the lowest student to teacher ratio on the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus, a diverse selection of courses, and a dedicated staff of academic and career advisors, Humanities and Fine Arts offers students the rigor and individual attention of a liberal arts college within the vibrant curricular range of a major research university.

Today’s graduates are innovative, dynamic problem-solvers prepared to be citizens in a rapidly evolving global environment.
