Architecture - Barnard College

Architecture from Barnard College is a Campus Bachelor Architecture And Related Services degree that prepares you for a Architecture career. The major in architecture provides students with the opportunity to explore the discipline of architecture within the context of the College's commitment to liberal arts. The major is introduced through a series of studio and academic courses that explore the multiple relationships between architectural design, history, theory, and criticism. Students are expected to develop technical skills, design excellence, and a critical understanding of architecture as part of our visual, social, and political history and culture. The major is designed to prepare our students to work in architecture and related disciplines or pursue graduate study. Most of our students take advantage of the resources of New York City and the teaching faculty by working in internships in the city while majoring in the field. There are two tracks to the architecture major: the first, while incorporating lectures, seminars, and scholarly research, is more strongly studio based and is recommended for the student who thinks he or she will continue to do graduate work in architecture or design; the second (open to Barnard students), while incorporating studio components, is geared toward the history and theory of architecture and is more strongly allied with the Art History department. (Columbia students interested in this type of major can find a similar program in the Art History department.) Students considering an Architecture major or minor (only Barnard offers a minor in Architecture) should consult with their adviser before sophomore registration to develop the most appropriate sequence of studio and lecture courses.
