Departments
[edit]
The college's three departments — architecture, construction science, and landscape architecture and urban planning — together offer 15 degree programs, including undergraduate programs, master's degree programs, and three Ph.D. programs.
The Department of Architecture at Texas A&M University is one of the largest and most diverse professional programs in the United States, with five unique degree programs. Nationally ranked among other accredited professional programs in architecture, the department enters its second century of architectural education by creating and disseminating knowledge to students through the studio education method with an emphasis on sustainability.
The Department of Construction Science is one of the largest programs of construction higher education in the nation. The department's primary mission is to prepare undergraduates and graduate students for successful careers in construction and construction-related industries. In 2021 it became the first institution in Texas to offer a Ph.D. in Construction Science.[1]
The Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning, through two undergraduate and four graduate degree programs, provides education, research and outreach in planning, design, development and management of communities to continually improve the quality of the living environment, and by extension, the quality of our lives.
