The Architecture Program at USD is embedded in the liberal arts education that constitutes the core of the College of Arts and Sciences. As such, all courses in the Architecture Program, be they studios, lectures, or seminars, teach our undergraduate students the skills of critical thinking and argumentative reasoning based on evidence, and encourage curiosity and free inquiry.
