Design and Architectural Studies, BS at Northeastern University

Students integrate the study of architecture with strategies of Graphic and Information Design, Interaction Design or Experience Design. A flexible curriculum focused on key contemporary topics related to the built environment is combined with a broad understanding of the principles and systems of perception, communication, and action. Students integrate text and image to visualize concepts and data, create navigable interfaces and systems that allow audiences to take an active role to achieve meaningful goals, and take a holistic and integrative approach that focuses on the quality of the human experience in concrete situations. Students emerge with a strong portfolio suited to further graduate education or experience in architecture and design-related fields.
