Overview

ARCH 302 is a required course in the UG BA in Architecture degree program. Many of the enrolled

students have not traveled before. This is a critical area of development in Architecture and Design

education compared to other comparable programs in the country and nearby similar programs at the

University of Colorado Denver, Arizona State University, University of Arizona, Texas Tech University,

Texas A&M, University of Texas Arlington, etc. This program in the past has deeply altered the

Undergraduate student experience.

This has created three concrete results:

1. The student cohort is experiencing a greater sense of community, they are impacted by this big

experience together

2. Immediately more students traveled to far-flung destinations on their own after this travel

experience.

3. More students from our UG student population have applied to not only wider choices of Graduate

school programs in the US, but they have also applied to Graduate programs in other countries as US citizens.

They are benefitting from no-cost graduate education.
