General Information
Introduction
The study of architecture develops intellectual, professional and creative skills, and knowledge in the design of form and space together with the integration of construction technology. Architectural studies offer students the opportunity to generate physical solutions to difficult and complex problems, often with competing economic, social, and political, as well as physical, parameters. The profession of architecture attracts those who have a wide range of interests and skills and wish to make a unique contribution to society.
To accommodate a broad range of student backgrounds, the School offers an Architecture Doctorate (ArchD) as a first professional degree. This program fulfills the academic requirements for licensure in the profession of architecture and is the only such degree program in the state of Hawai'i.
Mission and Goals
The primary mission of the School of Architecture at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, is to offer the highest quality architectural education to prepare students to be ethical and humane professionals, with a desire for life-long learning, a commitment to excellence, and the aspiration to be contributing members of society.
The academic program of the School of Architecture offers opportunities to focus on meeting the special needs of Hawai'i, Asia and the Pacific Region. The School strives to be the center for the study of Asia-Pacific architecture, committed to the aggressive pursuit and establishment of the knowledge base for this regional architecture, and to effectively disseminate the accumulated knowledge to the students, the professional community, and the public at large. The School has the distinction of producing graduates who are competent practitioners, especially equipped to meet the architectural challenges of Hawai'i, Asia and the Pacific region.
Existing Programs
The School of Architecture currently has both a five-year accredited Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Architecture program. These two programs will continue for all existing majors until they have completed their respective programs. The School has applied for accreditation of the new Architecture Doctorate (ArchD) with the National Architectural Accrediting Board. This new degree program, the first of its type in the United States, will be the only offered program beginning in the Fall 2000 Semester. In the meantime, until this new degree is accredited, graduates of the ArchD program will also receive an accredited BArch. degree at the same time.
Description
The Architecture Doctorate (ArchD) is a 212-credit program which can be completed in six to seven years. The curriculum carefully integrates off-campus professional practice training and overseas cross-cultural experience within the comprehensive academic program.
The ArchD program consists of two segments. The first three-year segment is Pre-Professional Studies, and the second four-year segment is Professional Studies. The Pre-Professional segment addresses the University liberal arts core requirements along with the study of architectural design principles and applications. The Professional segment continues the study of architectural design principles and applications including a number of elective courses. It provides the students opportunities for overseas studies and involves them in the professional practice of architecture which incorporates real-time experience in architectural firms. Culmination of the individual student's experience will be in the form of a doctoral project in the final year of the program. With careful planning and full utilization of the summers and/or prior university education, the seven-year program may be completed in less time. |
