Architecture

About the Program

Building on UVU's dual mission model, the architecture program seeks to skillfully weave together current technologies with the design principles of classicism, vernacular and traditional building methods, and multidisciplinary industry-based coursework. We support the non-traditional student by producing "master builder" practice-ready graduates who are equipped to tackle the challenges of designing within a multicultural global context and addressing the needs of the 21st century.
