Join our community of architects and designers.

The Sam Fox School offers a rigorous architecture program within a dynamic, cross-disciplinary campus.

You can earn a degree with a more architectureintensive experience or one with a broader liberal arts base. The College of Architecture also offers minors in architectural history and theory, creative practice for social change, landscape architecture, and urban design. You’ll graduate with the tools to design beautiful, innovative, and sustainable architectural environments, and become a more creative thinker and designer.

THE DESIGN STUDIO

60%

of our students earn a dual degree, second major, or minor in another field.

We believe that you learn by doing.

Our program provides hands-on, real-world engagement, both in the St. Louis community and beyond.

From their very first year, students work collaboratively in the design studio with renowned faculty, exploring a wide array of media and techniques. Your work will engage actual sites and tackle complex social, cultural, and environmental challenges.

“The Sam Fox School has really empowered me to create design that has a purpose and realize the impact of everything I can do with my passion.”

Maddie Major: BS in Architecture Minors: Urban Design and Urban Studies Hometown: Lexington, Kentucky

“You’re taught how to be a thinker, a designer, a creator. It’s not just making a model or a drawing. It’s a negotiation with a lot of disciplines that makes Sam Fox School students extremely well-rounded.”

Noah Major: BA in Architecture Hometown: Gary, Indiana
