Architecture

The Architecture Program provides Judson students with a Christ-centered comprehensive, professional architecture education. Delivered by a committed faculty, the program focuses on:

• Inspiring students to demonstrate their commitment to our natural environment, sustainability and the development of a quality built environment.
• Encouraging students in academics and community through a interdisciplinary approach that prepares leaders and tempers professionals.
• Nurturing students in the exploration of architecture and its divergent approaches, their creativity in design, and their expressions of personal beliefs in their personal and professional activities.
• Demonstrating a strong faith-based worldview through our program, teaching, and lives.
• Continuously exploring and defining the intersection between Christianity and architecture education and service.

The study of Architecture at Judson University is unlike any other school or university. The program is structured around expanding the students creative abilities first by hand then later progresses into the digital world and the professional practice. The first two years of the program focuses on the understanding of design concepts and works with the abstract and the pure ideas of space. The final two years turns more toward the applicable uses of these design concepts and puts the students knowledge of the formation of space to test with real projects. More Information >>
