Architecture and Design Minor

Drury University > Hammons School of Architecture > Architecture and Design Minor

The Architecture and Design Minor is available for students who are interested in obtaining a basic understanding of the broad discipline of design and the built environment. Students who pursue this minor establish a fundamental set of design skills and knowledge, developing a familiarity with the built environment and its related activities. This minor is not available for students pursuing the Master of Architecture or the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degrees.

Students enrolling in either ARCH 112 or ARCH 201 will be assessed a $1000 Architectural Program Fee in support of curricular and extra-curricular program enhancements consistent with maintaining a nationally accredited professional architecture program. Students who have completed at least 60 hours at Drury University in pursuit of a major other than Architecture may petition the Hammons School of Architecture administration to have the ARCH 112 fee waived.
