General Information

The study of architecture (ARCH) 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 a bachelor of architecture degree† as a first professional degree and a master of architecture degree† as a graduate-level professional degree. The professional degree programs offered by the School of Architecture fulfill the academic requirements for licensure in the profession of architecture and are the only such degree programs 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 high-quality architectural education at the graduate and undergraduate levels 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 programs of the School of Architecture will seek opportunities to focus on meeting the special needs of Hawai‘i and the Pacific Basin. The school will strive 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 students, the professional community, and the public at large. The school will have the distinction of producing graduates who are competent practitioners especially equipped to meet the architectural challenges of Hawai‘i and the Pacific region.

Accreditation

The bachelor of architecture degree† is a professional degree accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). The master of architecture† degree is accredited by NAAB when earned as a first professional degree.

Degrees†

Bachelor’s Degree: BArch 
Master’s Degree: MArch

† Starting in 1999, the bachelor’s program and the master’s program in architecture will gradually be replaced with a professional architecture doctorate program. Contact the School of Architecture for details.
