Fordham's program in architecture will support careers for students who plan to work immediately after graduation in real estate, construction and community development. These fields together represent about one-fifth of the American economy. Students also leave the program with highly sought skills in computer-aided drafting and design (CAD). For those students interested in careers in construction, development, or real estate, a business minor is recommended. For students interested in community development, an Urban Studies major with an Architecture concentration is recommended. Fordham's pre-architecture program is also designed to prepare students for graduate professional programs in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, urban and regional planning and urban design. For graduate school admission requirements, please refer to pre-architecture in the pre-professional programs section of Undergraduate Bulletin.
Most graduate schools of architecture do not specify a particular major for admission. A major in art history, however, would be appropriate and useful. Five of the following visual arts courses may be substituted for art history courses and counted toward the Pre-architecture student’s art history major:
Urbanism (AR 1101)
Visual Thinking (AR 1135 required)
Drawing (AR 1150 required)
Design and the City (AR 2050)
Design and Nature (AR 2055)
Architectural Design (AR 2060)
Architectural Design II (AR 3070)
Architectural Design III (AR 3080)
Senior Project: Architectural Design (AR 4090)
Art History courses should include:
Art History Introduction (AH 1100)
Modern Architecture (AH 2540)
One or more of the following is required:
Architecture 1300 – 1750 (AH 2460)
Age of Cathedrals (AH 3350)
Seminar: Contemporary Architecture (AH 3540)
Manhattan Architecture (AH 3545)
