The Master of Architecture degree is accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB).
The Hampton University Department of Architecture has long been recognized as one of the leading architecture programs among the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), and has been placing African Americans in the profession of architecture for over 50 years.
The Department of Architecture offers a 5-1/2 years accredited Master of Architecture as a first professional degree.
The primary goal of the program is to provide professional education of the highest quality, affording an advanced level of competency within the broadest spectrum of responsibility to the client, society, and the environment. The Department is committed to the development of critical inquiry, creative thinking, and lifelong learning essential to participate in our rapidly changing society.
The program seeks to heighten students’ awareness of ever evolving global conditions significant to the production of contemporary architecture, and the built environment. It promotes the study of transitional urban areas and communities of color. The diversity of faculty and student backgrounds allows us to contribute to an awareness of, and ability to work with varied groups. The curriculum takes advantage of the rich urban setting of the Hampton Roads area. It is the only NAAB-accredited program in the area.
In the tradition of the HBCU, our program explores questions of identity in design as well as other cultural, social, and technical issues in architecture. We provide the educational framework for the emerging leadership roles of the African American architect in the profession and in society.
