• Because ARCS will allow you to explore and hone your passions for design. It will give you knowledge to choose which design field interests you most. And it will prepare you for professional graduate education (a master’s degree) in that field.
  • Because ARCS will teach you to be a confident and well-informed voice, and it will equip you to critique, evaluate, question and reimagine the design of the built environment.
  • Because ARCS will train you up as a researcher and an intellectual who infuses the design process with critical thinking, sound logic and a willingness to explore untested and innovative ideas.
  • Because the program requires many more electives than most undergraduate programs.  ARCS students choose which electives best suit their interests, so you will quickly learn to be self-motivated and develop a deep sense of ownership over your design education.
  • Because in ARCS you will come to understand the importance of reading, writing, research, observation, discourse, debate and criticism as essential components of the design process.
