Pre-Architecture
Webster University offers a Three-Four cooperative program with the School of Architecture at Washington University. This dual degree program (BA plus master of architecture) allows students to pursue undergraduate education at a liberal arts institution and gain an early start on their graduate professional education in architecture. By taking advantage of the overlap between the two components of the program, students are able to reduce their time commitment by a semester or more.
Students complete three years (96 credit hours) at Webster University in a major of their choice. During the senior year, students begin studies at Washington University in architectural studies. On successful completion of the required 32 credit hours, students transfer their work from the professional school back to Webster University to complete their baccalaureate degree. On acceptance, the remaining semesters are spent at the graduate level in the School of Architecture.
