THE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION (CADC) is committed to preparing professionals in the design and construction industries through professional undergraduate programs in the academic areas of architecture, building science, environmental design, graphic design, industrial design, interior architecture, and landscape architecture and through graduate professional programs in building science, industrial design, architecture/public interest design option, landscape architecture, and real estate development. Collaboration, community engagement, innovation, global connection and critical practice are core values intertwined in all of the programs at the College of Architecture, Design and Construction. Whether working with nationally respected corporations in the School of Industrial and Graphic Design, associating with major construction companies in the McWhorter School of Building Science, or building facilities to accommodate the needs of some of the state’s underserved citizens in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture’s Rural Studio, CADC students learn in unique and flexible settings from innovative faculty and through progressive pedagogical models.

The College of Architecture, Design and Construction maintains the right to limit enrollment in all programs and may retain student work for exhibition or for records and accreditation purposes. CADC students in the professional programs are required to pay the CADC Professional Fee during each semester of the professional curriculum.
