Take the Next Step

For more than a century, Architecture at North Dakota State University, part of the School of Design, Architecture and Art, has prepared students to shape the built environment through rigorous studio-based education, technical innovation and community engagement. Grounded in the land-grant mission, the program challenges students to think critically, design responsibly and respond to the complex social and environmental issues facing our world.

One Department. United in Design.

Architecture is housed within the Department of Architecture and Interior Design, where both programs share a collaborative foundation rooted in design excellence and stewardship. While each discipline offers a distinct professional pathway, students benefit from an interdisciplinary environment that encourages creative exchange and prepares graduates to contribute meaningfully at every scale of the built environment.

The department is home to two distinct programs in Architecture up to the M.Arch level and Interior Design in the Professional undergraduate track.

• Study under award winning faculty
• Engaged and mentoring faculty provide a personal approach to your education.
• Faculty have regional, national and international awards for their research and teaching.

NDSU Architecture and Interior Design is located both on main campus and Renaissance Hall downtown along with Klai Hall for our graduate programs. Our facilities are state of the art with ample space, a full suite of digital and analog technologies and for Architecture 24/7 Access to studios throughout the semester.

Getting your degree in our department is more than checking boxes and earning your degree, it is hands on, experiential and rooted in applied application of what you are learning.
