Architects create structures and environments that enhance the way we live and work.Today's architects are problem-solvers and artists, creators and scientists who embrace a wide range of architectural problems extending from individual buildings, sites, interiors, and components to large building complexes and city and regional planning.

Art

Art graduates work as artists, animators, game designers, museum administrators, photographers, teachers, gallery managers, commercial designers for advertising agencies and publishers, and more.Artists think about the world, sharing their ideas and visions.Art majors develop strong critical-thinking and creative problem-solving skills.They learn to adapt techniques, tools, and materials to different creative processes, budgets, and end uses.Artists and creative thinkers are important additions to successful communities.

Interior Design

Interior designers shape, organize, furnish, and adorn the insides of buildings to reflect our personal and cultural aspirations. Today's interior designers do not simply decorate.They consider meaning and identity, function and purpose, and issues pertaining to health and safety.They work on wide range of interiors, from residential to corporate projects, designing spaces within new buildings and finding ways to adapt and re-use existing structures.

Landscape architects plan and design traditional spaces from parks, campuses, and gardens to commercial centers, transportation corridors, waterfront developments, and more.Today's landscape architects design and plan the restoration of natural places and work to revitalize post-disaster sites and redevelop blighted landscapes of urban settlements.Working with architects, city planners, civil engineers, and other professionals, a landscape architect's keen ability to see what is not already there is an essential part of our society.
