DESCRIPTION: The architect of today may work for a small company, a large one, or be an independent business person. Architects may be asked to design a home, a commercial building, a school, a hospital, an industrial plant, a shopping center, or solve as complex a problem as the design of a large group of office-apartment-retail buildings along with the open spaces between them. The architect must be well-versed in law, finance, education, ecology, urban planning or renewal. Creative, imaginative, and technically oriented people became architects. The architect is at once an artist, a planner, and a coordinator whose thinking must integrate the skills of original design concepts with that of many engineering, finance, and construction disciplines. The Architecture Major is recognized as one of the finest high school level programs of this type in the country. Students in this major work on individual designs for diversified projects. This major develops a student's skills, and work and study habits that will place the student in good standing at some of the finest collegiate schools of architecture. THE AVAILABILITY OF THE ABOVE COURSES IS ALWAYS DEPENDENT ON BOARD OF EDUCATION FUNDING.
