Professional Development and Leadership

Catalog description

To deepen their understanding of the architecture profession, students are encouraged to actively engage in leadership, collaboration, and community service. These experiences, along with a required internship in either Option A (Architectural Practice) or Option O (Other Qualifying Experience), provide essential real-world exposure and skill development directly aligned with architectural practice. While internships under Option A must be paid, students gaining experience under Option O may fulfill requirements through approved volunteer positions. This course is designed to support students in earning AXP hours and gaining meaningful experience in the Practice Management area, as defined by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), ensuring a strong foundation in the professional standards and expectations of the field. May be repeated up to 6 credits.
