Founded in 1986 as a graduate program, the University of South Florida’s School of Architecture and Community Design (SACD) was the first state school of architecture in Florida to be located in a major metropolitan center. Metro Tampa Bay, a significant post-war urban territory with some 3 million residents in a five county area, serves as an architectural and urban design laboratory. The school maintains close ties to the Tampa Bay chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and numerous architectural offices throughout the state. Our graduates practice throughout Florida and across the US, as well as abroad. Our colleagues in the USF College of The Arts are the School of Art and Art History, School of Music and School of Theatre and Dance, in addition to the Contemporary Art Museum and Graphicstudio, a word renowned professional print atelier.
The SACD curriculum prepares its graduates for a full range of professional activities. The Master of Architecture degree (M. ARCH) is fully accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and is a professional degree required for licensure.
