Architecture – B.A. in Environmental Design
Environmental Design students at Montana State learn how to design the spaces and structures where people live, work and play. Coursework focuses on scientific knowledge, technical expertise and high-level architectural design thinking both inside the studio and in the community at large. The Environmental Design program is specifically designed to prepare all graduates for acceptance into a Master of Architecture program, which licenses that candidate to work as a professional in the field.
“In terms of quality of work and rigor of the program, MSU is on par with the top [architectural school] programs,” he said. “It’s an incredible place to learn about architecture.”
