Architecture

Pre-Professional & Cooperative Program

The liberal arts curriculum provides a strong foundation for professional study in architecture. As preparation for a professional degree program, Knox offers several courses in the art department that specifically involve the study of architecture. Others develop skills that professional architects will use every day in their careers.

The special cooperative program that Knox offers with Washington University is an excellent choice for students with a strong interest in art and architecture.

The Program
Knox offers seven courses in the art department that specifically involve the study of architecture. Other art courses -- such as Site-Specific Art and Interpreting Landscape, as well as a half-dozen more in the field of sculpture -- develop skills that professional architects will use in their careers.

Preparation for architectural work requires a background in other fields for which Knox is highly regarded—especially mathematics, physics and history. The result is that Knox students who apply to architecture schools are very well prepared, are accepted into prestigious programs, and excel in their subsequent careers.
