Architectural Design

Non-Stanford Students:

At Stanford University students do not apply as undergraduates to specific departments, but rather to the university itself. This allows students to explore many options and develop their interests before committing to a specific major.

Undergraduate students declare their majors in their second year of study and continue then in a major subject for the duration of their undergraduate studies.

If you are currently considering attending Stanford, see the Undergraduate Admissions site for more information.

Program Overview

The architectural design major offers opportunities for students to explore their general interest in architecture, while taking courses that provide technical fundamentals in building design and construction.

This program is particularly valuable for students planning to do graduate work in architecture. At the same time, the program retains the spirit of a broad-based liberal arts education. With a strong background in mathematics and science, it prepares students for graduate studies in disciplines other than architecture, such as engineering, law, and business.
